The only reason it's popular in India is due to the huge amount of service/consultancy devs doing work for Western companies. A large percentage of lucrative legacy enterprise contracts will be using java ( and spring really took over from ee). Second after that would be .Net I'd guess with other languages way down the list at least for back end stuff. Also consider the 100s of thousands of Indian guys who learned java and .Net at University.

Reference: I work for an Indian company, but I'm not Indian.

Almost all graduates come from tier 3 colleges, which is a name for every college that isn't in the top 5%. These colleges often churn out massively overpopulated courses with too many seats, which was partly responsible for the campus placement crisis we are facing now.

Consequently professors employed by such institutions often have to min max for total covered content. A certain course in a well known tier 3 college taught React without first introducing HTML or javascript, in an introductory lecture.
