Question JAA licence?

Sorry to hijack the thread a little here, but i too have been considering the Indian option from the UK.

Im due to graduate from an Integrated course with a JAA frozen ATPL this summer and i assume i would also have to convert to an Indian licence - does anyone have any idea of whats invovled (both exam wise and financially)?

Also am i right in assuming that with the recent new legislation, i'll be able to apply for dual citizenship in India as an NRI, even though i was born in the UK? The AI website doesnt specify nationality but im guessing its a pre-requisite to be an Indian citizen.

What are the chances of someone who wasnt born in India getting a job over there? (I.e. is there a plentiful supply of local applicants or do a lot of pilots with Indian based airlines come from abroad?).

Thanks,
Rai.
