That's just overall Indian culture, not the schooling effect. Military affect is the uniforms. On the playground etc, Indian kids are (or used to be) vastly more free-form/wild than American.

This may sound weird, but the fundamental wild-kids sanity of pre-90s Indian school culture was due to the absence of dating and all its pressures. Kids had space to be kids. For eg there was no real jocks-vs-nerds toxic dynamic.

I don’t think so - high school does seem pretty traumatic for people in a bad way

That’s an interesting hypothesis. How about globalism aspects? What does that map too in high schools?
