Till last week, SJ had requirements for Indian Captains AND Expat pilots on their website (these were on their site for years, probably forgotten because all mails to their email ID invariably bounced with the message 'mailbox full'!). Now, their website only advertises for Expat pilots for the Q-400.
So that's one avenue that's a dead end for the Injuns.....or so it seems unless something major comes up in the future!
