SamirAhmed 		You should visit the Indian embassy and apply for a PIO (Persons of Indian Origin) Card....

http://www.indianembassy.org/consular/pio.pdf

Persons of Indian Origin (PIO) Card

Any person currently holding a non-Indian passport, who can prove their Indian origin up to three generations before (or is the spouse of a citizen of India or person of Indian origin), is eligible for a Persons of Indian Origin Card. Citizens of Pakistan, Bangladesh and other countries as may be specified by the Central Government are not eligible for grant of Persons of Indian Origin Card.

PIO cards give the holder the following benefits: (a) visa-free entry into India for fifteen years, (b) exemption from registration at a Foreigners' Regional Registration Office if the period of stay in India does not exceed 180 days (for stay of more than 180 days, the PIO card holder needs to register at a FRRO office), and (c) PIO card holders enjoy parity with Non-Resident Indians in economic, financial and educational fields.

A PIO Card is generally valid for a period of fifteen years from the date of issue.

PIO holders can acquire, hold, transfer or dispose of immovable properties in India (except agricultural/ plantation properties), open rupee bank accounts in India, lend in rupees to Indian residents, make investments in India etc.

PIO holders’ children can obtain admission in educational institutions in India in the general category quota for Non-Resident Indians, including Medical, Engineering colleges, IITs & IIMs.

PIO holders are eligible for various Housing schemes under Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) or Central/State Governments.

Possession of a PIO card will not entitle the holder to: (a) be eligible for the exercise of any political rights, (b) visit restricted/protected areas without permission, and (c) undertake mountaineering, research and missionary work without permission.
