Very nicely put.
People really do need to be taught how to make out buzzwords from real tech; and the major responsibility falls in the hands of universities.
Maybe it's just because most people are just trying make their way out of poverty, and this kind of work _looks_ like a sure shot, get out of slum ticket.
Maybe it's because most people are led to believe that money is the only thing that matters..
At the end any new technology trend only has only 2 - 3 years, before people flood it and dilute both quality and wages.
The education system is another mess, which no one can clean up because the education system is designed to address literacy skills at scale(quantity), not quality.
Other big problem in the Indian system is endless optimization towards exams/interviews. Go to any OJ site on the internet and you see people even from Ivy Leagues(IITs etc) and NIT's flooding the site all day doing interview related algo work instead of focussing on their day jobs.
Its not just Python, tomorrow some thing else could be famous and you can see thousands, may be even tens of thousands of people learning it in India in a few months/years. This is regardless of the merit of the technology.
