I don't think that it's just an Indian thing. I've been to a lot of places where bargaining over the price of some things is expected. That's the way it is here in Israel. It's just that in the United States it's not done that way and you have no experience dealing with it. The foreigners you deal with instinctively feel that the price you quote is an outrageously overpriced opening bid and expect it to come down.
