Have you tried asking follow up questions on why you got passed over? some companies will respond and you can pivot accordingly. also if you are good enough for remote, you should really look at angellist, lots of startups in india are willing to hire remotely from other cities(i just got two offers for react dev work from startups in blore).

stackoverflow is good for this if a bit sparse

Majority of the companies don't respond back.

Till now I have been able to give maybe 5-6 interviews out of which 2 people responded back with feedback .

One company just sent back a generic email about how I was not looking for but the second company/startup did give a nice and detailed feedback.

And it just seems like there are more frontend related jobs than backend. I primarily do backend.

I have been applying through stack-overflow, RemoteOk and Hacker-news who's hiring, however I haven't really applied using Angel-list till now.

I'll check out Angel List

Full stack is the new normal, i advise you to learn some form of UI work(enough to be conversant)
