I want that when Debian boots and I log into gnome and open
gnome-terminal, echo $LANG shows en_US instead of en_IN.
I found that in /etc/environment, the content was:
LANG="en_IN"
So, I changed it to LANG="en_US" and rebooted the system. But after
rebooting and opening gnome-terminal, I find echo $LANG to output
en_IN again.
So, where should I make this change so that after rebooting echo $LANG
outputs en_US ?

How to change LANG = en_US ?
You should change language in login screen for gnome. Otherwise, you can
change your language with export command in terminal. i.e. export
LANG='en_US' But this doesn't affect the gnome. It's only work for
current terminal.

If export is the only way to do it, I can of course put the export
LANG=en_US statement in /etc/profile.
However, I am thinking then what is the use of /etc/environment? What
purpose does /etc/environment serve if changing LANG="en_IN" to
LANG="en_US" in /etc/environment doesn't affect the LANG shell
variable of my terminals?

I think /etc/environment is depreciated; try changing the setting in
/etc/default/locale instead. (That should work to set $LANG for your
system at boot; I have no idea if Gnome has a mechanism to override that
once it starts.)

If you want it to be changed system wide, for all users, doing
`dpkg-reconfigure -p low locales' will give you a series of debconf
screens where you can select the locales to be installed and then the
default locale, which in my case is en_US.UTF-8.
