Dear Ma'am,
1) you can file for a divorce petition by coming to India or by granting a GPA or SPA to an attorney or a family member who can file for divorce on your behalf.
2) As you are Hindu your divorce will have to be Filed either under Sec 13 HMA, which lays down various grounds for divorce, or Under section 13B which is mutual divorce.
3) Deception and in compatibility are not grounds for divorce available under HMA.
4) Certain information with respect to how log you have been married and stayed separated will also be needed to guide you further.
5) The fastest method for divorce is a mutual divorce petition, which will include a 6 month cooling period. It can only be filled if both parts have been living separated for 1 year.
