Q. What happens if you live in the country of India and you break a law in India?

Do you mean if you are an American Citizen living in India?  

Here's some pertinent information from the State Department.

"While in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject to that country's laws and regulations which sometimes differ significantly from those in the United States and may not afford the protections available to the individual under U.S. law. As our Country Specific Information for each country explains, penalties for breaking the law can be more severe than in the United States for similar offenses. Persons violating the law, even unknowingly, may be expelled, fined, arrested, or imprisoned.  "

Information about criminal penalities specific to India are available here:

The long and short of it is that American Citizenship affords one zero immunity in a foreign country.  In fact, in some cases, breaking a law in a foreign country that is also a crime in the U.S. can result in prosecution both at home and abroad.  If you have any further questions, write back to us here, or call us at 225 231 3750.
