You being Indian shouldn't hinder your chances of getting a job in the UK.(as long as you have citizenship or a working VISA) Also, you may need to go to Uni to get a degree first, psychology is very competitive.

Forensic is one of the more popular areas of psychology, and you would be looking at 3 years of undergraduate study, plus an additional 3-5 years of postgraduate study (Stage 1 and Stage 2) on top of that to become a qualified forensic psychologist, some of which you would probably have to fund. It is highly competitive and you would need to be able to work in the UK to fulfil the criteria to qualify, as well as having the clearance to work in various prisons and secure units with forensic populations.

Being Indian wont hinder your chances. The only thing I can't think of is a slight difficulty in engaging with prison slang but you'd soon get used to that.

Alternatively, you can do a doctorate in Forensic Psychology which combines Stages 1 (the MSc) and 2 (supervised practice) but there are much fewer courses which are more competitive.
