> are Anglo-American methods [...] transferred back to Indian universities by returnees who start academic careers?
Of all the people I have come across, only two of them finished a session of post-doc in the west, and came back to India. One of them is at IISc, and I forgot where the other one is.
To answer your question: my impression is that Indian academics seldom continue their academics in India. Most Indians who have earned a name in my (secret) field continue as profs in the west, take on Indian and non-Indian students, and teach them all the same way.

Perhaps MOOCs can save India.
Not really. Indian students dont want to learn, they want a degree to a get a job that has no correlation with their degree.
