In India, we call them “Auto Rickshaws” (or “Ricks” if you feel urban and ‘with-it’

Dibyo,
I am from India too, and the word ‘tuk tuk’ is very much used, especially in Bombay and Pune where diesel powered 6 seater rickshaws are prevelant. In fact, Tuk tuk is not used for Bajaj rickshwas, but only for those 6 seater ones.
