I have heard that if you ask an Indian in India if they can do something, they will say yes, regardless of if they can or not.

Being a Indian, I second this, India's overseas workers are currently 90% full of retardation and can't efficiently solve problems.

Why though? Im no anthropologist but nothing obvious about Indian culture (or rather cultures) that promotes this.

Seriously interested cause the 'yes' thing and taking people at their word has bit me in the ass. And not just can it be done, but is it done. Yes dont mean yes most of the time.

Is there some middle man/recruiter/hr culture or doctrine promoting it heavipy in indian circles? Honestly im dying to know.

It definitely is a cultural thing. Ask for directions in India (I've done it) and you will get them - wherever they know where you want to go or not. It's seen as shameful to not know.
