I've noticed the same kind of trend, except in my case it's not working out the same way. My Indian team mates are happy to diligently put in the hours, but it has been difficult to convince them that they should instead rock boat a little in cases where those hours aren't clearly helping anybody.

20 well thought out hours > 40 hours running tests you know will pass.

It's a pity that discussing cultural differences as things that can be an asset or a hindrance is taboo. I surely have my own inherited hang-ups and it would be helpful to have it pointed out every now and then.
