You can try to guess the country based on the remote address of the user.

The following is a working solution, you'll have to work the redirection logic though:

$remoteAddr = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$lookupUrl = sprintf('http://api.hostip.info/country.php?ip=%s', $remoteAddr);
$country = trim(file_get_contents($lookupUrl));

if ('IN' === $country)
{
    $newUrl = 'http://www.rajasekar.in/';

    header(sprintf('Location: %s', $newUrl));
    printf('Moved.', $newUrl);
    exit();
}

Take care that search engine robots from India are able to crawl the .com content as well however.
