Hello, One way to make the data easier to work with is to convert the Shapefile to GeoJSON <http://geojson.org/> or TopoJSON <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeoJSON#TopoJSON>. This online tool MapShaper <http://www.mapshaper.org/> lets you upload a Shapefile, perform line simplification if you want to (to reduce file size), and export to GeoJSON or TopoJSON.
Once you have the data in TopoJSON format, you can use D3 <https://d3js.org/> to color regions. Here are some examples: India Map in D3 <http://bl.ocks.org/JohnCoogan/1531818>, Map of India's Parliamentary Constitiencies, 2014 <http://bl.ocks.org/mukhtyar/9958903>.
