Interviewing with an Indian, especially for a technical position is always a disaster - they intentionally make sure of it.
First, Indians have enormous egos. Haven't yet met a truly humble Indian. Second, when they go to school for something and then come to the USA, they tend to think there's only one way to do something right.
Case in point: I've been told "model this table" for data managing / business intelligence positions many times. Every time, the first thing I ask is: Okay, what are you looking for out of that? And then the Indian who posed the initial question either looks suddenly terribly indignant (because he didn't think that far ahead), or he looks like a deer in headlights because either he doesn't understand the continuation of his question or he's hugely surprised someone would ask HIM a question. There's more than one way to correctly model a data table, but I have yet to meet the Indian who thinks anything other than the way he knows to model a table is the only correct way to do so.
And so on. Indians are usually very one-dimensional people when it comes to working. Yes, they can be fun and a beautiful people too, but when it comes to discussing how something should be done, they usually consider themselves the ultimate authority.
These days I laugh at these people who treat me such - and I have a right to as I've been in the industry longer than most of them. And I carefully explain to them the details behind my continued question. And if they don't get it, I stop the interview right there and tell their supervisor I don't think their company is right for me.
And several times after I've done this, I've gotten call backs for further interviews. But by then it hasn't been worth is.
Indians waste an enormous amount of your work time because they don't usually see things from any position other than their own.
Yep. I've been an Uber driver. Idians asre arrogant as fuck. Which is weird since they are all small, weird looking people.
A thousand years of arranged marriages and very little protein will do that to a race.
So many times I've tried to keep an open mind and interview with an Indian. It was always a horrible interview because I couldn't understand a fucking word they said.

I once got some 6 figures job with Indian recruiter. In fact at least 3 of top 10 smartest men I have meet in the US were Hindus. They also definitely more white than most of western inbreeds.
