Based on friends Ive met at university, who were from India, it sounds like your school systems are better designed as well. Also every Indian I’ve met (at university) has really high math skills compared to an average American college student. I even was trying to do this optics calculation for a project and couldn’t find any professor that was familiar with it but my friend from India who had a background in medical device engineering and psychology was like “oh yeah I’ve done those types of calculations” and she knew right away what I was trying to do. She told me that math is incorporated into multiple subjects even at a young grade level. It’s not studied isolated like it is in Western schools. She also told me that, at least in her school, spoken english was common so pretty much everyone knew how to speak it fluently. I can’t recall what part of India she is from specifically. And I also admit that graduate students like her, often come from more affluent families so maybe her experience isn’t average. But she implied that it was.
