It's not so much a generalization but somewhat of a reality of the culture. There is definitely the notion of where you are on the hierarchy ladder in India. Being of a lower or higher caste does change the dynamics of the work environment. Of course, it can be argued that its better now but the caste system is still a major part of Indian culture. Aside from the caste system, there is a large 'follow the leader' mentality.

Also, respect for your supervisor means doing what you are told and not speaking out (even if you should be).

Take a look around a typical company that may have a lot of workers from India. It's very likely that most will be in non-leadership roles and are are very good followers.
