Why do all Indian spam bots target KYM of all places?

I think all of you forum regulars are aware by now that this board regularly gets spammed by bots who advertise services and sites aimed squarely at Indians or Pakistanis or Bengalis. While their behavior is to be expected, what got me joggin in my noggin is that most of these bots are specifically from South Asia. Not counting the diaspora, how many Indian users are there in KYM anyway?

My guess is that they more likely have a list or something to send out spam messages. All that's needed for a spam bot is the person behind it simply going for a site they know has traffic and unleashing their annoying bots on said site.
