You are not an EEA national, so you will be unable to use the EU Directive; you would need to apply under British Immigration law as a British Permanent Resident.
Why not? Although he is not a EEA national, he entered the UK and got his PR under the provision of EU law. Yes, I understand why you think otherwise... but isn't it weird?
The only thing that changes upon gaining the status of Permanent Resident... or rather upon receiving Permanent residence card by nonEEA, is that the non-EEA status
does not depend anymore on his/her being married to EEA citizen. But if you are correct, it does depend on his/her being married to EEA citizen because after divorce nonEEA with PR has to jump from EEA law to the domestic one.

Under British law your second marriage to your Indian wife is not valid and would probably not be recognised as legal in the UK, even if it is accepted in India as legal.
I remember reading about that recently. The idea was, if I remember it correctly, that the UK
might recognize a polygamous marriage as legal if the country which issued the marriage certificate consider it legal. But Member States (including the UK) are under no obligation to do so. Cannot find the link.
Yes, a little bit strange. Although the problem is rather interesting.
