Mrnal,

You should consider using IPUMS-DHS, which has already harmonized all of the variables across the surveys. You select the samples you want--all of the Indian ones it sounds like--and then the variables you want. You don't have to download separate files and merge or append them. You can download a single file with multiple surveys. The latest Indian sample is being uploaded into the system now. It will be available in March. The other three Indian samples are already there.
