The shortest period to take divorce is to file mutual divorce, meaning both you and your husband jointly file the petition before the court. for this both of you should agree. you need to come in person for this or need to send the attorney for the same. If your husband does not agree on this then you need to file divorce petition from your side. you need to file divorce in india, as the divorce out of India won't be recognised in India

Based on your situation, since you and your husband have been separated for two years and there has been no marital relationship or communication, you may proceed with a mutual consent divorce under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act (applicable to Sikh couples). You can file for divorce from the country you are currently residing in, but the petition will need to be filed in an Indian family court (preferably where the marriage was registered, or where your husband resides). You may authorize a Power of Attorney holder (such as a relative or a lawyer in India) to represent you, so your physical presence might not be required initially. If your husband also wants a divorce, mutual consent is the fastest route. If not, you can file a contested divorce on grounds like desertion, non-cohabitation, and lack of communication. Parents are not legally required for the divorce process, though they may be involved for support or documentation, especially if either party is abroad.
