Was it strategic to reveal Himself to a nomad? Why not in the Indus Valley (to Rajesh) or in the Far East (to Ming Tsu)?

Strategy had nothing to with it. How do you know he didn't?
The only reason Judeo-Christian- Islam became dominate was two fold.
1) The Jews stubbornness and complete refusal to give up their unifying faith. Unifying being operative here.
2) They bred like rabbits.
Had they not had these characteristics, they would have disappeared from sight.

Because, at the time, the Middle East was the birth place of civilization, or so we have been taught. But, lets be realistic, considering none of us were there - couldn't God have revealed Himself to all at the same time? Or earlier elsewhere?
We shall never really know, shall we?

You're assuming this is real. The god is only a superstition of the desert nomads of the Middle East, other people had their own superstitions.

I would say that it was known only to him.
but probably had something to do due to the fact that the area had the highest population density at the time.
The Rosicrucian's give some details on this, but here is not the place.

God works in mysterious ways that we can't understand.
God could have chosen anybody, and he chose a wandering nobody. God likes the underdog/flawed people and can use a nobody to affect the whole world.
