The US immigration officers or the airlines do not care as long as you play by the rules and regulations of your travel source and destination countries.
If India allowed dual citizenship, I would have kept my Indian passport also and entered India with it. I had my Indian passport canceled only because Indian constitution required me to and not the US immigration laws.
When I said earlier "Even if India allows dual citizenship, as a new US citizen, you would get yourself in trouble if the US immigration officers find out that you are travelling with a non-US passport", what I meant, according to my understanding, is that a US citizen is required to travel with a US passport. So even if India allows dual citizenship, US immigration will not be happy if you, as a US citizen, travel with an Indian passport. I could be wrong, some else could confirm this.
As far as I know, it is a requirement for US citizens to travel with a US passport. Even if you possibly have dual American-Indian citizenship in the future, it doesn't matter for the US government. For the US government, you are a US citizen, period.
