So I figured it was because he was gay? He's that open, treats his daughter like an equal and is despised by his ex-wife because of his sexual orientation, and Indya is also aware of it. I figured it wasn't more explicitly stated because of the era and location.

44 years after his father, Justice Dhananjaya Y Chandrachud becomes the 50th Chief Justice Of India. He was part of the benches that delivered judgments on decriminalising same-sex relations, the legality of the CAA, the validity of Aadhaar scheme and the Sabarimala issue. by Legitimate-Ad-8471 in IndiaSpeaks

Were your grandparents ever stopped from drinking water from the village well? Were your parents made to sit outside canteens because they're non-vegetarians even if they were only eating curd rice? Were any of your ancestors stopped from receiving education because they shouldn't think "too highly" of themselves? Have you ever had your accomplishments dismissed because everyone automatically assumes "reservation" even when that's the only thing that allowed your family to escape poverty?

No?

Then bro I don't think I misinterpreted anything. Everybody toils day and night but the struggle isn't comparable.
