Hey Bridgette, this is very helpful. I just had one thing to follow up on. So I was looking through the caste variables like in the India NFHS-1 survey table IAHR23FL. So the caste variable is SH035 which is the answer to the question "Which caste head HH belong?" So the answer seems to be an integer value that probably corresponds to a set of actual caste names. Is there a table that will match the index numbers to the actual caste name--like a string/text value?

I am good on NFHS-2 and NFHS-3 withe the caste names. In the case of NFHS-2 the IAHR42FL table does provide actual caste names in variable SH40CT, so that is good. In the NFHS-3 survey the caste names are provided in the CASTETRIBE table variable CTRESP provided along with IAHR52FL.

So I am just missing caste names for NFHS-1. On the other hand, let me know if the indexes for the caste names are the same in NFHS-1 as they are in NFHS-2, NFHS-3?

Thanks.
Krishna
