I think we were exposed to more Brit and Aus influences. Thinking Steve Erwin, Crocodile Dundee, and a bunch of British actors.

For Indian speaking influence, nope. Even today, the only exposure to Indian accents is at work and even then, its limited.

You can get better at understanding accents by listening to them more, so yeah, that's probably why.
