I understand why you have that perception, given you most likely have formed it by interacting with people like me, so I'll give you some context:
There's a small subsection of young and politically aware Indians who have a massive chip on their shoulder because of our colonial past and that sometimes translates to anti-west sentiments, mainly skepticism and anger over hypocritical behaviour.
That said, we are an incredibly small minority that still has a lot of appreceation for western or western derived values (appreciation for liberal democracy, free trade, individualism etc.). There's a lot of things that we admire America for (I'd wager we have a more positive opinion of the US compared to Europeans). We just want to put our country's interests first, that sometimes includes supporting morally questionable stances when it comes to geopolitics.
In summary, while there is an element of truth to what you think, it's a lot more complicated than just that.
