From a layman's idea, its because the clutch plate and flywheel are running at different speeds. Try boarding a bus or train while its in motion. I cant explain any better.

I have the problem in my Alto, Solve it by pressing the clutch fully or pressing twice.

I have been doing this at most times for down shifting. It gives a better downshift. Actually not required since our gears are synchromesh. But helps the get the plate up to speed before the shift. Works for me.
