I asked "Ryan Smith" if a computer could be infected with a virus by visiting pornographic websites. I asked if he preferred looking at little boys or little girls. I too was surprised how much verbal abuse they can take.
The message to you (and every other employee) is: from day one you are not trusted. This is an ominous sign that is going to be a rotten place to work. It isn't going to get any better.
If any one ever says, "It will be no problem" Watch out. They either do not understand the issue or are covering something up. After working in Asia for twelve years and managing lots of Asian workers, I could go on and on. But if I could give only one piece of advice that would be to take nothing for granted. What ever you believe to be patently obvious will be the thing that will come back to haunt you. Don't doubt the Indians ability to speak good English but they will take things very literaly. They can be frustating to work with but it can be worth it in the end.
