Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Fred Arnold:

The caste and tribe responses depend on self-reporting by the respondent (or reporting about the head of the household by the household respondent). No definitions are given to them. Presumably, they will report whatever they consider themselves (or the head of the household) to be at the time of the survey.
