I'm not sure where the state names for India came from, but the typical and common English names used in all correspondence (addresses, government documents, etc.) do not use names like Himāchal Pradesh, Mahārāshtra or Damān and Diu (note the accented ā characters). The name in such cases use the "normal" non-accented characters such as in Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra and Daman and Diu.
