The treaty giving back the French colony of Pondichéry, to India came into effect in Aug. 1962. Under the terms of the treaty, the people living there had a six-month period to make a choice between either the French or Indian nationality. The people who did not express their willingness to gain French citizenship were automatically given Indian citizenship at the end of the 6-month period.

You can claim French citizenship ONLY IF your father, specifically requested French citizenship at the time meaning that he is/was a French citizen.
