why does India have so many genetic abnormalities?

"Thirty years ago, on the night of December 2, 1984, an accident at the Union Carbide pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, released at least 30 tons of a highly toxic gas called methyl isocyanate, as well as a number of other poisonous gases. The pesticide plant was surrounded by shantytowns, leading to more than 600,000 people being exposed to the deadly gas cloud that night. The gases stayed low to the ground, causing victims throats and eyes to burn, inducing nausea, and many deaths. Estimates of the death toll vary from as few as 3,800 to as many as 16,000, but government figures now refer to an estimate of 15,000 killed over the years. Toxic material remains, and 30 years later, many of those who were exposed to the gas have given birth to physically and mentally disabled children. For decades, survivors have been fighting to have the site cleaned up, but they say the efforts were slowed when Michigan-based Dow Chemical took over Union Carbide in 2001. Human-rights groups say that thousands of tons of hazardous waste remain buried underground, and the government has conceded the area is contaminated. There has, however, been no long-term epidemiological research that conclusively proves that birth defects are directly related to the drinking of the contaminated

why does India have so many genetic abnormalities?
Its a mix of different things
1. They have very poor genetic diversity thanks to the caste system that is informally enforced there. You are liable to end up in an arranged marriage to someone who might actually be related to you since they're within the same caste.

2. Terrible quality control with pesticides and chemicals in addition to overall poor environmental regulations.

3. Lack of access to quality medicines and preventative treatment.

Asia has really poor genetic diversity since there's very little mixing going on in these populations and hostility to immigration, so you're seeing rare diseases persist in the bloodline instead of being bred out. It's one of the reasons why certain 'purebred' animals like pugs, French bulldogs, etc. Have horrific genetic defects and die sooner compared to their mixed versions.

Africans didn't succumb to European disease owing to transnational trade and mixing across the continent. A random African actually has more in common genetically with a random European than he might have with an African from another part of the continent. Africa is enormously diverse and a giant continent with different types of natural climates.
