1] Indian ATC is stupidly cautious, they irritate you with their conservative decisions but you don't feel rushed like you would at a major US airport. US airports of course rush you but are very efficient.
2]TCAS is a fantastic tool. There are numerous TCAS EVENTS at MAJOR US airports daily . Very few in India due to point no1.
3] Those 35 min pilots were caught and dealt with.
4] More pilots are caught BA positive in India because all flight crews operating flights which are originating in India have to do BAs[all crew, including cabin crew]. In other countries, the testing is random so fewer are caught.
5] The Slapping pilots were fired. Case closed.
So you just need to fix your anxiety, which is being fueled by reading up such forums.
If help is needed , send a pm and lets see what we can do for you.
