Thank you for sharing this information! I understand that for the IR file (women's) in the NFHS4, it is best to use the variable S116 for caste.
However, in my subset of the dataset (currently married women), I find that around 3.8 percent responses to S116 are 'missing'(unweighted). I was wondering what this means in terms of caste? It is difficult to believe that these many women could not be assigned a caste/tribe/response (as opposed to 0.3 percent missing in V131). I do not find any number of missing cases for other background variables like age and education so wanted to check withyou. I am attaching the table generated from SPSS.
Thank you!
Best,
