Google and YT know my IP despite VPN, cleared cookies

Windows 8.1

I live in India and after connecting to a Japanese/Norwegian VPN I get the corresponding location on visiting Whatismyipaddress.com. My firefox setting is set to private mode always/do not remember history. Nonetheless I quit firefox and ran ccleaner to remove all the cookies.

The problem is visiting google.com (not google.in) always redirects to the Indian homepage. Youtube is also Indian. The Yahoo frontpage is not Indian, it's USA but for some reason Google always knows it's me - and I am not logged into gmail either.
