You cannot become a US Pharmacist with your four years of study in India. You have to study two years of bridge course in US for your Bachelors.Then you are eligible to be as a pharmacist with series of Board exams.
The base word for pharmacist/pharmacy/pharmacology etc. is φάρμακον (transliterated pharmakon, pronounced far-mac-on) which means medicine.
I think you meant pharmacist, not a pharmacy tech. A Pharmacist needs to study pharmacology that is linked to chemistry at certain point. A pharmacy tech doesn't need to attend college, but a technical course only, and his work is subordinated to the pharmacist.
A pharmacist is licensed by the state pharmacology board. You must go to college to become a pharmacist and it's a very serious job as people will die if you screw up. A pharmacy technician works under a Pharmacist and has far less qualifications. You simply have to pass a certification test.
Both are good. But you have to get the knowledge on pharmacology before you going in clinical pharmacy
Pharmacist is bigger than pharmacy technicians, pharmacy technician always work under the supervision of pharmacist.
No, a pharmacy is a business, anyone can own one if they have enough money. Owning a pharmacy does not mean that you are necessarily qualified to fill people's prescriptions. If you own a pharmacy but you are not a pharmacist, you would then have to hire a pharmacist to work for you.
Most people that become pharmacists are usually degreed in areas of science and physics and then have to go on to Pharmacology school which is 5 years if you combine the bachelor's and pharmocology degree since most people go from undergrad to pharmacy school concurently.All pharmacists are required to earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and also pass two exams to obtain a license to practice as a pharmacist. Coursework in pharmacy includes intensive study of chemistry, biology and anatomy, as well as pharmacology and medical ethics. Typically, applicants to a doctoral program have already completed a bachelor's degree in a related field of study, such as chemistry.Here's a good website.

A pharmacy.
The licensed medication specialist at a pharmacy is a pharmacist.
Just being "in" the pharmacy isn't a violation. Dispensing prescription meds without a pharmacist present is against the law.
In the United States, a pharmacist must complete 4 years of graduate level training at a pharmacy school, usually after receiving a bachelors degree. A bachelors degree is not required, however, as most pharmacy schools only require two years of undergraduate education and the completion of a list of prerequisites. There are currently 116 accredited pharmacy schools in the United States, and 6 of these schools offer "accelerated" 3 year PharmD programs by attending school almost year round - with less breaks for summer and holidays.
