Quick answer

Women's jeans in India are sized by waist in inches (26, 28, 30, 32 and up). Measure your natural waist and your hips; the right size is the one that fits both. A 28" waist with 38" hips is jeans size 28, which is a Small (S) and US size 6.

How to measure

Waist: measure where you normally wear your jeans, usually just above the hip bone.
Hip: measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat with feet together.
Do not pull the tape tight; it should lie flat against the body.
