To avoid all trouble with customs, do this when you land back in India -
Pack most of the inexpensive items such as clothes and toiletries and accessories into your bigger check-in bags. Carry most of the expensive stuff like electronics and gadgets and documents in your backpack.
Everything should be fine until the point you come to immigration. Once there, slide up to the counter when they call for you and greet the officer with a broad smile and a wink as if you don't have anything to hide (while all the time you really do have something to hide). Don't make any untoward or weird noises or actions and speak only when spoken to, except the occasional dead blank stare with a deep guttural growling sound. When asked if you were alright and if there was something wrong, reply with that smile and wink (see above), but at no cost say "I have a bomb" or "I'm hiding stuff from customs". That should help you get by immigration in a breeze.
Next up, the baggage retrieval line. Act all nonchalant there and be friendly to your co-passengers, even help a few elderly people with their bags. All this time you need to keep asking all the people you help for candy and/or chocolates (your preference really, no pressure). That usually lets the all-observing, omnipresent customs officials believe you are an all round nice guy. Once you have all your bags, stack them on to the cart and proceed towards the exit lines.
You've got all your things and you're not really sweating your pants off because you have expensive stuff to hide from customs, sounds peachy doesn't it? Well, the moment you see any policeman or white suited person (that's the mark of those pesky customs officials) approach you, or for that matter come anywhere closer than ten feet, or in extreme cases even go about their daily business completely unaware of your presence, you must shout out the battle cry! "It's war time baby!". At that moment a few things will start happening simultaneously and you should have counter actions prepared beforehand (get practicing right now). Begin charging towards the nearest officer with your luggage cart in front of you. Right when you are a few inches away, push the cart with all you got at the unsuspecting but shit-scared man. At the same time you should dive roll behind the nearest pillar, crawl the remaining distance if you have to. Your dive should be aimed towards the exit line.
Now one of two things will happen. If you land after that extreme dive roll into the exit line (good job with that jump, it pays to practice beforehand doesn't it?), get up and point at where the mangled mess of your worthless bags and that poor dazed officer is, shout "That man has a bomb in HIS bags!", and run out of the airport wildly hysterically screaming. That should throw any suspicion, if at all, off you and you should be able to get back into the country without any trouble, customs or otherwise. You have your backpack with you all this while and all your loot is safe! Just try and maintain a low profile once you settle back into your daily routine. We don't want any untoward attention with your bragging now, would we?
If on the other hand you botch the jump (haven't you heard, practice makes man perfect), many officers will rush towards you to nab you. Now I'm hoping you have a black belt in Shaq-fu and can beat your way out Matrix style. If not, then well please refrain from crying like a girl while soiling your clothes and at no cost say "I've got a bomb". Instead start laughing maniacally and say "It was a joke". God help you with what's to follow, cavity searches not off the table. (Should have practiced that jump and some wild kicks)
All the best! Either way, let us know on the forum how it went.
PS: Just carry your stuff into the country without stopping anywhere and you should be fine. No one is going to stop you unless you're carrying bags and bags full of things or carrying huge items like TVs. A small iPod isn't going to bother the customs at all.
