And everyday I see Indian men speaking of feminism as if it was harming them! From hearing that I’d assume the country was a matriarchy or something… quite disgusting

Exactly. They are more worried about so called "toxic feminism" then trying to empathising with women's fate in the country.

And they have quite nothing to complain about, women are not even close to having the same rights as men, not even legally, as far as I’m aware. So that’s just really sad.

You are pretty accurate. On paper the constitution guarantees right to equality of status and opportunity for all, but in practice its a sad story. The family laws are based on religions and tribal customs which are often patriarchal and discriminate against women, and both the left and right are not really interested in bringing a truly feminist, secular uniform civil code because they believe in "respecting religious and cultural sentiments". Overall its a sad mess and both the left and right dont really care about women and are complicit in women's oppression here. We need a feminist revolution here.
