If the divorce decree passed by the USA court under the Indian Statue as mentioned above, it will be valid in India also.

Any US court would of taken the measures to inform the other party even if they were not present or whereabouts not known, ie: publications etc. If one party is living in the usa, a resident or citizen then the divorce judgment is valid regardless of where the other person is residing.
