Which means that this "card / visa" is not dual citizenship and that one becomes eligible to apply for Indian citizenship after certain time.

This shows the real nature of Indian govt. They have two classes of citizens - normal Indian citizen and Overseas Citizen of India (read 'people from whom the govt. can milk money')
This is not dual citizenship. Look at Canada/US/UK/Australia - once you are citizen of that country, you a citizen like any one else in that country. No discrimination even if you hold citizenship of another country
Folks in Delhi are too worried about NRIs commanding greater role in Indian Politics I suppose. They just want us to cough up our money in India by paying exorbitant fees in Universities for our children but not have a say in the political process in our country.
