There are many names: rucksack, knapsack, backpack etc. and these are used quite loosely.
There are nice ones that also have wheels on them and a trolley type handle.
As for where to buy one, I think you should check out e-bay, India.
Enjoy your trip and remember we will be waiting for your travelogues and photos upon your return!
