I'm an Indian developer who's in Bangalore, India and was in the US for over 9 years. So, I've worked with Indians in India as well as in the US and it's usually the same reasons someone asks for answers desperately -- they have taken an assignment(at school or work) for which they're NOT always best suited. They don't know where to start BUT they need to submit the assignments soon. They start asking their friends (through phone, chat and email). If they don't have friends, they ask on the net. The anonymity that internet affords makes these normally polite Indians aggressive -- if you were to meet these Indians, they certainly would NOT demand the same of you. Most of them don't understand that asking a question the wrong way(http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) is considered offensive. I wish more forums had an auto-responder which sent this link to "clue in" those Indians.
