>>At the risk of generalising myself I'd still like to say that Indian culture in general doesn't want anyone to challenge authority (parents/teachers/bosses) this is something we are taught as children.

You did end up generalizing. We are taught to 'respect' elders. Challenging authority doesn't mean lack of respect.

Plus it also depends on what kind of background you hail from. People from upper middle class background and rich have generally little incentive to challenge the authority. Because they are the authority and they benefit from it.

Some one from lower castes, lower middle class and poor people have no other option but to be anarchists. Following the system can only do more damage to them.
