Google Search bug (location preference)

There is a minor issue with Google location preference in search results. It auto-detects the location from the IP address of my browser. When I am logged into a VPN (or a proxy) with VPN server routing internet traffic from US location, it detects and sets my Location to be USA. The displayed results from USA are given priority. When I try to set my location to India, it would not accept. See below:


Anyone else facing this issue? I think Google should accept user input too for the location field.
