Indians are genetically prone for diabetes and the risk increases if you have a blood relative with diabetes. Obese individuals are more at a risk compared to those with a normal BMI,  however that does not mean than being thin makes you immune. Unhealthy lifestyle like increased intake of fast food/processed food, skipping meals, lack of adequate sleep, stress, lack of physical activity are the main reasons behind diabetes and its complications.
