So you see ISRO IS going for some US designs...wth minimum strap-ons..
I think you are getting confused, the number of strap-ons depends on the mission.
Low payload weight -- no strap-ons.
Originally designed payload wt -- Normal config (4 strap-ons)
Heavier payload wt -- Extra strap-ons + possibly higher performance fuels.
There is nothing Russian influenced or American influenced, strap-ons or no strap-ons depends on the mission profile.
