I can make some assumptions about the demand for techwriting in India based on the traffic I get to my website. According to the stats for my site, most of my traffic comes from the US. Canada is a somewhat distant second, with India close upon Canada's heels. I am surprised by these stats, but perhaps I shouldn't be. One of my previous clients (a major telecom company) regularly out-sourced work to SW development companies in India.

To be more specific I am just only looking for basic information about
technical writing in India (and not really looking for a debate about the
advantages/disadvantages of globalization). I am interested in basic
information such as pay-scale, demand in today's market, and whether the
technical writer's role is understood and/or appreciated in the Indian
technology domain for example?
Any pointers to articles or mailing lists that address these subjects or
where I can learn more about these trends would be appreciated?
