Dear Fred,

First of all, thank you for your reply.

But there seems to be something missing.

I am using "sh035" as the variable for caste. When I tab this variable for the state of Maharashtra, I find that none of the households have the code 1968/1969 or for that matter 21 (under which 1968 and 1969 are listed). Similarly, none of the households have code 2307.

This is surprising for the reason that Marathas constitute a significant fraction of Maharashtra's population. The often used India Development Survey (IHDS), implemented by Univ. of Maryland, shows that Maratha households constitute more than 25% of the surveyed households.

I am just wondering what's going on. So sorry for bothering, and thanks once again for all the help.
