Could not the Chicxulub impact event have been a direct cause of the volcanism halfway around the world in India? I'm thinking shock waves here, traveling through the crust of the sphere and reaching a apogee on the other side of the globe.

Very interesting hypothesis.

Wouldn’t your theory require that one event occur in the Northern hemisphere and one in the Southern hemisphere?

You beat me to it. Earthquakes ring like a gong to the other side of the earth. It seems as though an asteroid impact could release enough energy that not quite unstable volcanic geology could become completely unstable.
