Sharad, Sorry about my tone; I get excited/ pushy when it comes to geospatial data. In my experience, you have to ask, ask again, and keep asking (like I did with you until you finally responded). I guess I should only ask once, and if you don't respond, then you never will...
In my honest opinion, GADM is junk. If you want me to explain the top ten reasons why, I can. As per you sharing your data; if you can share it, it would be great. Digitized one off data is unique, and could be better than what is on this forum. If you or your company paid for the data, and cannot share, it makes sense. I figure since you are here, looking for free data (or whatever), asking questions about it, and have data, why not share what you have. Just my 2 cents. Sorry for coming off as a jerk. I apologize.
