If your application doesn't mind working to a pc which uses an always on internet connection I'd suggest using geopy's reverse Geocoding

If you don't like that solution you can try your country's geonames.org's geolocation info-dump. Check the readme on how's the information is stored.

The only authentic source is Survey of India. We had got revenue village boundaries with the census data attached.

They sell the data topo-sheet wise. So you need to figure out your area of interest and then contact the SOI office for the digital data.
