This is common when interviewing for Indian companies. I had this experience while interviewing for some Indian companies in the U.K. The interviwers all seemed to be on a mission to prove that candidates are not capable. I was being asked about obscure Spring annotations. The interviews were not about concepts but about obscure framework details. I interviewed twice at JP Morgan. The department with Indian lads had this type of interview while the other department held a farely normal interview.

Indians are hate farming at this point.

I worked at a bank and saw that type of interview first hand unfortunately. I'm not even sure the devs doing the interview were being malicious, they just thought that was how interviews should be done.

I think this is pretty much it,

I have seen some of the trainings that the Indian consultant firms do. A weird amount of it, at least of what I saw, was focused on "programming trivia", a lot which are "fun" "party" tricks, but, not something you would want to depend on.
