VERY interesting. India and the Dekkan traps were not antipodal to the Chicxulub strike.
This is why Luis and Walter Alvarez ruled out a connection between the impact and the basaltic flow.
Could the combination of trajectory and earth's rotation dropped enough crap on the Indian Continent to cause multiple fractures for the magma to start weeping out?
