Becoming a US citizen, and for that matter any Immigration-related process are very expensive because USCIS, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service is one of the only two US government offices without and official budget. The other one is the Post Office.

That means, all operations have to be charged to their users. The Post Office is used by dozens of millions of people, industries and companies, but USCIS's services are used by very few, so the cost is way higher. President Barack Obama promised to "take a look at the issue", and ended up subsidizing some citizenship paperwork based on income.

When an indian marries a US citizen does he become a US citizen?

An Indian cannot become a US citizen by marrying a US citizen. Not only Indians, but any other person from another country cannot become a US citizen just by marrying a US citizen. A US citizen can sponsor a Indian on an appropriate visa ( like K-1 visa) after which he/she can adjust their status to that of a permanent resident. After being a PR for 3 yrs, the Indian can then apply for US citizenship, if needed.
