since most Indians seem to have warm or olive skin, I would recommend Golden Medium, and even though Golden Tan and Warm Tan are in the same depth category as the Tan, which you said is too dark, you should give them a shot if you're able to actually try them on. if there is a Sephora or Bare Escentuals store in your area, I would highly recommend going there so the sales associate could help you out. they could even test out the colors on your face.
