Population of India: 1.352 Billion; Bombay blood: 135,200
World population without India: 6.448 Billion; WPWI Bombay Blood: 6,448
This is only an estimate as African and Asian averages are not available.
How many of these Bombay blood group O(h) people are also rh negative, O(h)-?
Much material is flawed:

World population: 7.8 Billionhttps://today.mims.com/how-sharing-the-same-blood-type-may-create-other-shared-health-traitsThe Bombay Blood Type (BBT): This serotype occurs in one in 10,000 Indians, or in one hundredth of a percent of people (0.01%). In Europeans, the occurrence is even rarer, at one in 1,000,000, or one ten thousandth of a percent (0.001%). Individuals with BBT do not have a ‘H’ antigen, and cannot make the ‘A’ and ‘B’ antigen. They can only accept similar blood, meaning those of the ABO serotype cannot donate their blood to them.
