no this one is indian palm squirrel
more from wikepidia
this is common question from rest of the world

Tree Squirrels
The common North American tree squirrel rarely has stripes, but some squirrels in other areas of the world do. The Indian palm squirrel has a mixture of black and cream stripes across its back. It is native to India and Sri Lanka and also been introduced to Australia. The similar northern or five-striped palm squirrel can be found throughout India, Iran, Nepal and Pakistan. Both of these squirrels make their homes primarily in trees.

Chipmunks
Chipmunks, members of the squirrel family, are set apart by the way they gather food. These rodents are known for their ability to stuff their cheek pouches full of seeds and grains to take back to their burrows to feed their young or to store for the winter. All but one of the 25 species of chipmunk are found in North America, and all have stripes across their backs and sometimes their tails. They range in size from under from less than 8 inches long for the least chipmunk to up to 11 inches for the Eastern chipmunk.
