Like Flying Fijian mentioned, most F/Os don't touch the controls.
It's pretty much single pilot jet flying, a hangover from Imperial days prior I guess, even though there are alot of "CPLs" around looking for the big gig (with their Garlic Naan and/or Pappadums ).

I've witnessed very poor handling skill, co-ordination, anticipation and common sense from those from the subcontinent... one could possibly say that they simply aren't meant to fly... but I have seen this in students from China and many Australian new recruits also, for that matter. It all comes down to flying experience, after having been taught well.

Sadly both are lacking.
