There are deeply rooted cultural differences in approaching education in western societies and India.

Unfortunately I can't provide a link for it, but an Indian friend explained to me that historically constantly begging a "guru" to share his wisdom was more important than independent efforts.

You have to understand this cultural background (edit: and how the mass IT industry there hires people by quantity).

Oh of course I also asked my friend how to best handle these kind of persons. His answer was:

"Ignore them, they will have no shame wasting your time."

And of course if the attitude to ignore those people is prevalent, you start to understand how this tactic of constant devote begging formed shape. =)
