Hi,

I am trying to study intergenerational mobility in India by using the Indian Human Development Survey Data. I have matched the household and individual data but I cannot create separate variables for regression analysis.

I want to create separate variables for Muslims, SC/STs, and General/Forward (Brahmin, Christian, Sikh, and Jain).

The available information which I have are-
  1. ID11: Religion which takes the following values:
    Hindu1, Muslim2, Christian3, Sikh4, Buddhist5, Jain6, Tribal7, Others8, None9
    The values attached to them are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9
  2. ID13: Caste Category
    Brahmin1, Forward/General2, OBCs3, SC4, ST5, Others6
    The values attached to them are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
I want to create a dummy for the religions but I do not know how to incorporate caste into it.

Example: Muslims come under Forward, OBCs, SCs, and STs caste groups. So I do not know how to combine them to create a dummy for Muslims.
