I have recently discovered that my husbands Grandfather was born in Bangalore India in 1924. Does anyone know how I can go about obtaining a copy of his birth certificate. If this is not possible is there any other way that I can obtain details of the birth and his parents etc.

We are very thin on information on my husbands grandfathers family as he divorced my husbands grandmother in 1952 and was never heard from again!! Grandma has since passed away and there is no one to ask for information.
