Why do I want to enter legal academia in India?
The answer will never be money, prestige or fame - if it is, re-examine if academia can ever get you there. The reason, as indicated in your answer, will likely be your passion for something (which is constitutional law). I would urge you to explore if this passion can be satiated through any other means (something like litigation) before choosing academia. Seeing as the immediate payoff in academia (assuming you will eventually do a PhD as well) is similar to litigation, it may not only make sense in the short run, but also the longer run, will litigation will undoubtedly be more rewarding than academia. You can also eventually guest lecture if you want to as well.
