I would like to follow up on this question. I am working with the 2005/2006 DHS data from India. I will need to analyse the population living in cities larger than 500'000 inhabitants. Therefore I am trying to identify this population in the survey. There are two variables in the survey that classify respondents acording to city size. These are hv026 and sh025 in the household data set. Given your previous response I assume that definitions are based on the 2001 indian census. According to the census, towns with more than 100'000 inhabitants are defined as cities. However there is no information on the definition of "large city" and "mega city".
If you could provide a definition of these two categories or point me to the source, that would be extremely helpful.

Thank you in advance and best regards.

Rafael
