'loot', 'dacoit', 'blighty', 'juggernaut', 'punch', 'chappals', 'verandah', 'bunglow' and too many to count all have Indian origins.
'blighty' is a misheard vilaiti(foreigner). It's a tango, that's how the sausage is made and there are no wrong answers.
You make a mess of yoga and Indian cuisine. We add liberal modifications to english. It's all good.
Interesting thing is, if there is a time when are a lot more Indians speaking English and all making the same 'mistakes' than other people, how long till the mistakes are part of the language.
