    Though I am NOT an expert in Indian tax matters, it would seem logical that you would NOT be liable for any Indian income tax for your one-month return to India if you did not work while visiting India.

    If you DID work, you would be liable for Indian taxes ONLY for the income earned while in India. If you paid such Indian income taxes, you can claim the Foreign Tax Credit by filing Form 1116 with the U.S. tax return.
