Well, isn't that special.
Indeed. The first thing you have to know about indian 'workers' is that they are culturally conditioned to be absolutely unable to say "no", or "I don't know". They will absolutely lie through their teeth when you ask them if they can do something. I've spent way too much time in my life dealing with this particular issue. The vast majority that I've worked with are nice folks and all, but are also pretty much incompetent unless you provide incredibly detailed instructions of exactly how a task is to be accomplished if it's not a simple boiler-plate thing that they have done hundreds of time. Asking them to think outside of the box is simply a waste of time.
