If you have concealed your USA marriage from your Indian wife, you cannot challenge the second marriage. However, if your wife so decides, she may be entitled to seek annulment of marriage on this ground. Otherwise, your marriage is legal. Even otherwise, if you are living with your wife after divorcing your first wife, you will be covered under the category of "live-in" relationship which has been now legal recognition in India.
