Probably worried it’d sound to much like “Injuns”.

Fun fact. ‘Injun’ is likely the original pronunciation of the word. The letter ‘J’ didn’t enter the English alphabet until after contact with both India and the discovery of the new world; the letter ‘I’ could make both the vowel i sound as well as the j sound.

In old movies about India, you might hear the country’s name pronounced ‘Indja’, even though it was always spelled ‘India’. As people became literate they pronounced the second i in India as an i rather than the older j sound.
