Hygiene & Vaccines: To avoid travelers diarrhea in India practice good hygiene & only eat at clean restaurants. Also aside from being up to date with measles, mumps & rubella vaccines the WHO recommends travelers to India also have the following vaccines: Hepatitis A & B, Oral Polio, Varicella, Typhoid, Meningococcal, Japanese encephalitis, Rabies & Yellow Fever. I wish you well with your health!

Cdc.gov: Remains the most reliable source for information as it suggests immunizations and meds to be taken adjusted to your situation, such as other comorbidities, traveling with children, etc and also for distinct areas that will be visited inside India. Ultimately a travel medicine consult would only help as customizing recommendations and being able to coordinate the process.
