Mr.Kapoor rightly believe them synonyms.Most of us do.Perhaps no other profession has as many variations in titles than that of a lawyer.We frequently use these titles, sometimes interchangeably, in the field of law. However, by definition, each has a unique meaning.
Generally speaking, an attorney, or attorney-at-law, is a person who is a member of the legal profession. An attorney is qualified and licensed to represent a client in court. By most definitions, an attorney may act on the client’s behalf and plead or defend a case in legal proceedings. The English word attorney has French origins, where it meant 'a person acting for another as an agent or deputy.'
A lawyer, by definition, is someone who is trained in the field of law and provides advice and aid on legal matters. Because a lawyer also conducts suits in court proceedings and represents clients in various legal instances, the term has expanded to overlap the definition of attorney. In the U.S., attorney and lawyer are normally considered synonyms. The term lawyer has Middle English roots.
In Indian context an advocate is a person so registered with any of the State Bar Councils.

All those who got a law degree are lawyers.
All the lawyers who enrolled in the bar council are called Advocates.
Advocates, attorney, counsel are synonyms.
