You can't get the birth certificate. Ask your father to contact in person to Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi, India. He has to prove his credentials. To entertain this request, MEA has their absolute discretion.

your only option is to travel back to probandar and make enquiries there. there may be a register at the local office, so you will need to head there and make the necessary enquiries. porbandar cannot be a very big place, and information should be easily available with the help of a local.
