Country of Residence of the Insured shall mean the country, Insured is normally residing in currently, and declared as the Residential Address of the Insured in the Policy Schedule.

I am speaking from experience and my own personal views above - I am not an advisor, nor an expert.
Ans 1. One can buy a health insurance policy from a country where he currently resides. There are many insurance companies which can help individuals to get insured under travel insurance.
Ans 2. He is not eligible to buy health insurance in India.
Hope your satisfied with the answers.
