Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Yes, you should use the weights and svy adjustments as you described. I would not rescale the weights. If you rescale the weights to represent the pooled population, India will overwhelm the other countries. I suggest giving distributions separately for each country.

I inserted the comment "only 26,435" because that number seemed low in a sample with 2,843,917 cases in the PR file (although not everyone is eligible for the disability questions). In your comparisons with other countries, it will be important to say something about the proportion of the total sample that is reported to have a disability, as well as analyzing the types of disabilities and their relation to covariates such as age and sex.
