Summary: 


As I believe it, one does not need a visa to re-enter the US if one's
stay in Canada does not exceed 30 ( or 7, I can't remember ) days.  So
all one really has to do is go to the US consulate before but close to
the "grace period" expiration date and request a new visa on the
grounds  that you want to stay on in Canada for a couple more days
than the "grace period."  There is no need to mention any planned trip
to India.  I was in  Canada this winter and did obtain a visa this way
( I did legitimately need it to re-enter the US! ).  By the way, all
this  applies to a J-1 visa.  I don't know how things work for other
non-immigrant visas.
