Their are so many Indians (population) that lightning just can’t avoid them all??
The population is so dense in India, like a 50/50 chance any given lightning strike will hit a person?
In almost any country, if you stay on the main road between points A and B, it looks overcrowded.
I drove back from Mysore to Bangalore on the 'back roads' just so I would see a little bit of what the country was ACTUALLY like. The population density appeared quite comfortable. Back then I was still brainwashed into thinking that the unwashed masses were 'our problem' (and not just a problem for the ultra-wealthy eugenicists), so I was surprised at how vacant it actually was.
The very same dynamics applied in Japan, China, Vietnam, and The Philippines in all of which I made a point to get out of the main urban areas a least once. Even on the outskirts of town where it seems from the road that there are a lot of people, you can go one lot through the 'squatter shacks' and be in a field. Really the most densely populated rural area I saw in my travels was the Mekong Delta region of Vietnam.
Traveling around the world is a real eye opener and gives one a perspective, but not if one stays in 'safe zones' or whatever. To bad travel will not be a thing after the 'great reset' in the interest of saving the world from 'climate catastrophe'. Oh, Wait! I forgot; Schwab, Gates, and Bezos are going to give us all low-cost tickets to Mars because they are so awesome and they love us so much.
