I'm an Indian teaching Indians in India, and there are quite a few students who don't see anything wrong in cheating. Not to say anything about the blatant cases of cheating and mass cheating in school-leaving exams that regularly make the news in India.

I can't say if cheating is more of less acceptable in India than elsewhere, and for sure very many students in India are honest and genuinely interested in learning, but people treating knowledge and teachers as divine is far from reality.
