Where can I get the .geojson file for India and not separate files for each state/territory or any other distinction?

Does India have a .geoJSON file? I want to make data visualization using d3.js for the states, cities and hence need the GEOJSON File representing India. Where should I start from or what should be my approach?

Also Mike's Tutorial doesn't help much for a Windows guy dealing with conversion of geographical data for the first time.

Please help.

Thanks,
