>>For most North Indians (speakers of Indo-Aryan languages), Hindi would probably be a lot easier to pick up than English.
Hindi is only something like marginally older than English in India. Within a few years you can almost say English is a better candidate as a common language than Hindi can even dream to be.
>>On top of that, they get to interact with a large population of fluent Hindi speakers
And where is that 'large population'? Delhi, Uttar Pradesh? and then apart from that where? That is not even 10% of India.
>>I've been in Bangalore, and the English of the majority of programmers I've met here is utterly atrocious.
Compared to the British English standards we are something like miles ahead of most Americans or probably a good part of the anglosphere. News papers, publications, magazines, essays almost in any measure India will outscore US or any English speaking country in the world
>>They butcher sentences and are incapable of constructing a single grammatical sentence
Don't get me started, Most Americans can't even pronounce words completely. Most use double negatives frequently while forming sentences.
>>Personally, I wouldn't criticize them if this hadn't been coupled with appallingly bad coding skills.
I see this pretty much everywhere. I don't know what your problem is exactly. You think the outsourcing scenario was scary? That was just the very beginning. There is nothing really stopping India's progress on the world scale, and software is just one tiny little area where India's is making rapid progress.
I wonder what is the true nature of the problem the west and in general white English speaking population has with India. If you are just pissed that a nation you ruled and looted for 200 years is just giving you back a dose of your own medicine. Sorry I can't help much on that end, as I said this is just the beginning. Much is about the come.
