As India becomes more integrated into the international business and consumer community, it stands to reason that it will also begin to adopt commonly used international expressions for consumer goods and ideas. For example, the French are now calling Saturday and Sunday, "Le Weekend." The world is becoming smaller and more linguistically interconnected.

As the world gets bigger and more opportunity presents itself, (thus making it attractive) countrys get smaller in that the true essence of the country begins to become not only influenced but diluted. A worldview becomes larger and is embraced simply because now exposed, the identifying features, language, religion etc of a country seem confining. Historic culture becomes less defined and eventually 'things' once foreign simply become part of the peoples' experience.
OPINION ONLY.

We are only being more acomodative to the western culture from where these word are comming, and in order to be competetive in the international market we are keeping pace by catching up with their terminologies. Nothing wrong with us, we are maintaining our competetive edge in the whole process.
Now, for the imp question, Y they are using these terms, so the answer is that - People in the west (read US) just want to be different from the others, they feel that by chaning names they make every one feel that a particular thing was invented/ discovered by them.

This is because people are getting used to imported words more appropriately.
