You have met the 3-year Substantial Presence Test, so for 2014, you will have to file as a resident alien for 2014 under the "continuous presence" policy.

This means you must declare ALL world-wide income (to include your Indian salary and interest earned in Indian banks) and file Form 1116 to claim the Foreign Tax Credit for Indian taxes paid.
