1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.

Indian Law Review is another top-notch journal that is not included but EPW is. While EPW is a good periodical but the level of discourse is nowhere close to that required in a law review.
Try reading few articles in NTUT Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Management, another SCOPUS indexed journal, and you will understand the point I am trying to convey here. SCOPUS is not the gold standard, not even by a long email but if that is what makes you happy, good for you.
My father is a physicist with multiple patents to his name and my mother is a social scientist working at one of the academic institutions in India. I also have few publications to my name including one in a Scopus indexed journal.

The Indian journals currently listed include Jindal, EPW, JIPR and Contributions to Indian Sociology. Some NLU law journals have applied to be included like Jindal, so the list may expand in the next few years. There is an open process through which any law school can apply.
Of course, if your idea is just to hack through the game, you can find plenty of not so great journals and periodicals indexed by Scopus where the threshold is much lower and you can easily get published there.
Best of luck!
