Abstract: Statelessness, a condition where individuals lack legal recognition as citizens of any state, poses profound challenges to identity, rights, and constitutional protections. This paper examines the phenomenon of statelessness within domestic contexts, where individuals are rendered "stateless in their own country" due to discriminatory laws, bureaucratic failures, or constitutional ambiguities. It explores the interplay between citizenship, identity, and constitutional guarantees, focusing on how legal frameworks shape or undermine personhood. Drawing on case studies from India, Myanmar, and the Dominican Republic, the paper analyzes how constitutional provisions, judicial interpretations, and state practices contribute to or mitigate statelessness. It argues that statelessness reflects a failure of constitutionalism to uphold the right to nationality as a cornerstone of human dignity. The paper proposes legal reforms, including robust judicial review and alignment with international human rights standards, to address this crisis. By situating statelessness at the intersection of law, identity, and governance, this study underscores the urgent need for constitutional protections to ensure inclusive citizenship.
