>How come this time of the year is called by that name?

(I think) because it's the end of summer and Indians being generally more tied with the land made it a busy and positive time of the year harvesting and laying in the provisions for winter.

>What do Indians think about it?

I've never heard one object to it. The vast majority of the connotations to the term are either neutral or positive.
