This might just be a coincidence. But would it be possible if someone
uses Academia.edu through a Google login, with their gmail account, that
some kind of triggering mechanism comes to apply?

That's quite suspicious. Perhaps Kaul had a burst of online business
and posted to INDOLOGY and /at the same time/ uploaded the review to
Academia, which triggered your notification. We can't tell from
Academia when papers are uploaded, but the review has 317 views, which
suggests it was uploaded a while ago, not recently. So that
explanation is probably wrong.
How could Academia possibly be getting information about your incoming
emails? What mechanism can we imagine? Emails don't deposit cookies,
so cross-site cookies aren't the pathway. If Academia is harvesting
from the INDOLOGY archive, which is technically possible, then
*everyone* would get the Kaul notification or similar ones, not just
you. It's hard to see how this might work. Without a plausible
mechanism, I'm staying with coincidence.
But I have all my Academia notifications turned off, so I never get
anything from them. If I want to know their stuff, I look at the website.
Best,
Dominik
