Answer 1

HTML:

<select id="country-select">
    <option>--- Select One ---</option>
    <option value="us">US</option>
    <option value="germany">Germany</option>
</select>

<select id="us-select" class="sub-menu hide">
    <option value="austin">Austin</option>
</select>

<select id="germany-select" class="sub-menu hide">
    <option value="berlin">Berlin</option>
</select>​

CSS:

.hide {
    display: none;            
}​

jQuery:

$('#country-select').change(function (e) {
    $('.sub-menu').hide();
    var selectedCountry = $(this).val();
    if (selectedCountry) {
        $('#' + selectedCountry + '-select').show();
    }       
});​

And the Fiddle for anyone to check out: http://jsfiddle.net/RPWPZ/3/

Of course you would have to add all the items for India, and any other countries you'll be caring about.

Edit: if you want a country selected when the page loads, look at the changes in this Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/RPWPZ/5/

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {

  $('select').hide();
  $('#list2').show();

  $('.country').click(function(e) {
    $('select').hide();
    $('#'+$(e.target).attr('sel')).show();

  });
});
</script>


<a class="country" href="javascript:;" sel="list2">India</a>&nbsp;
<a class="country" href="javascript:;" sel="list3">Germany</a>&nbsp;
<a class="country" href="javascript:;" sel="list4">US</a>&nbsp;
