    True

    Explanation:

    American employees are not considering the cultural differences with India, and how a new employee is probably expected to behave according to Indian culture.

    American culture or really any western culture (North and South America, most of Europe and Australia + NZ) tends to be much more open. But we are really a minority of the world's total population, about 20% only. On the other side, Asian cultures are much more rigid and structured, and respect is very important to them.

    Probably remaining silent is a way of showing respect, at least during the first time that they meet strangers.
