There's probably a really interesting, bit potentially controversial topic to be discussed here.

As a Non-Indian, I'm quite aware/familiar with this kind of culture you speak of within Indian culture in the workplace and, to be blunt, if I were applying for a role as say a high level product manager (my current gig) and there was a native-born/raised Indian person as the hiring manager, I would at the very least be very cautious about this risk.

But in this situation, given the power dynamic is in favour of the other party, does this make me "biased"?... Or just "careful"?

I've seen this firsthand ... in the scenario you described, you wouldn't get it.
