Can I keep my existing agriculture Lands in India after getting US Citizenship?

[easytrak]

I am a green card holder. I am planning to apply for US Citizenship. I have agriculture lands in India. I inherited these lands from my parents. Can I keep my agriculture lands even after geting US Citizenship or Do I need to sell these agriculture lands before I take US Citizenship? I know that I can not buy agriculture lands after getting the US Citizenship. Are there any other ways of keeping the existing agriculture lands after getting the US citizenship?

If you have inherited Agri lands, the RBI says it is OK. Please note NRIs, PIOs (with or without card), and OCIs are treated the same - but differently to Resident Citizens.
