India is the home of the old meme "he's over qualified for blue collar so has to drive a taxi" because indian general education is world class and a massive amount of Indians go into further study. Of course that doesn't explain exactly why india people are good at chess but explains a little.
I'm indian and I still don't know
As a novice, but passionate and pretty good in rapid, I've seen a statistical pattern about indian players of my level:
1) They never resign, also when it's a simple sportmanship behaviour, and that suggest sport education maybe has to be improved;
2) In 95% of cases they move the queen on openings, second or third piece, trying to be superaggressive
3) When they're line doesn't go as expected games became awfulÂ
India has more high quality students probably than any other country, but building an interpretation of stastistical choices in behaviour seems too many people are influeced by some sort of arrivism, I guess due to the poor life conditions and internet abuse to escape reality (try to be tricky, try to be sneaky, try to fool seems are the only chess lesson followed by these players).
It's obvious that we have to thanks all these players to teach every possibile gambit and poor tricky line, imho this is only mechanical chess and there's absolutely no fun at all playing like this, often you can't confront yourself with an engine plan, this is not your intelligence at work.Â
So, basically, thanks to these players you can choose to play with friends at your level of face chess committed to study not how to play but how to remember, and this is deeply sad, it's like be ready to answer at every question without comprehension of what you're saying.

Yes indeed sir, you are very good rapid player.
I just will never understand why people think we are so good, I cant even play well against the scotch.
Troll, troll, troll, your boat...gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily....
India's but a dream!
I too have a friend from India, he's minus 8 weeks old and already has a rating of over 1800 !!!
I would say that closes the book concerning any debate about India and chess.
Feeling proud
well indians did create chess so its obvious we are little bright
No they did not.

Yes you are absolutely correct. It is quite sad indeed but there isnt much we can do about it. It is basically up to us to break through the "indian wall" to get inside, where chess is played with the attitude you described to want. Personally, i found it all a bit upsetting too until i realized how easily it can be countered. What didnt go away is that those games always play out the same and there is nothing likeable about it.
similarly to the russians, they work together
