I would agree with your mentor! Bring in the background as an Indian part and perhaps tie in the BS in forensic bi by mentioning that it's typically frowned upon in the culture to stray away from a tech/science/math field (my own two cents as a fellow South Asian). I feel it would be stronger than just explaining that your degree adds a diverse perspective - most law schools understand/know this, its why they like students with diverse degrees. I think start from there and then mention that you were glad you took that route because it means you can bring XYZ into the field of law :)
