A pilot's nationality does not determine his skills, guys!
I see you haven't been in airline flying for very long.
I watched first hand the number of Indian nationals dismissed at one SE Asian airline some years ago (almost to the total exclusion of others), for specifically two reasons....
Lack of basic flying skills.
Poor attitudes.
Both need to go together to produce a proficient and safe airline pilot.

I would have a suggestion for the Indian DGCA, have all the expat pilots dismissed, and watch for the number of increased fatal accidents.
In this way, the EU can include Indian air carriers in the EU blacklist and the FAA can brand the country as Category Two.

It has been often stated in the past that the only way to fly to India, is to fly over, on the way to somewhere else.
