I don't like my fellow countrymen when I'm on a plane with them, but I don't think they are particularly skilled at breaking seats. Messing up the toilets, sure, but broken seats are a sign of lack of maintenance.
It would be nice if FAs could firmly encourage people not to hang out in the aisles, not to pull down the seat in front of them when trying to get up, not drink too much (those 2-for-1 drinks should stop), etc. Perhaps other airlines give their FAs assigned to India flights more training in how to handle Indian passengers, or perhaps we are all afraid of memsahibs and behave better in their presence.
I have also seen Indian FAs (particularly on IC) yell at passengers, which also shows a lack of training.
