The point here which is not clear is that if I have to pay tax in India or not. As per my understanding tax in India is only on what I earned in India. Can anybody clarify??
I am already paying tax on the Indian income. I have been filing taxes for the past several yrs in India.
Let's say that I start withdrawing $5k from RRSP every year starting 2012, I would pay witholding tax of $500. As I understand, I need to file for taxes and probably get that $500 back as my total income in canada will be less than $18k per yr.

Yes, the Canadian aspect is simpler in your case.
I don't know about the Indian aspect - does that $5K get added to your Indian income?
If so, what is the taxation rate on that?
Does India tax "world income" the same way Canada would have done had the case been the other way around?
Keep in mind that no tax has been paid on that $5K yet, in any country.

In this case, isn't the tax on the $5000 RRSP withdrawal being paid in Canada.
The withholding tax is applied at source & the refund of withholding by CRA is based on the basic minimum exempt income

My question is : what rule exists to protect KumarM from being taxed by India on this $5,000 for the full amount?
If KumarM were a US citizen and had moved back to the US, this $5,000 would not be taxed by the US because of the existence of the social security tax treaty.
vikshr's post seems to indicate that the $5,000 would indeed be taxed by India as full income.
Every year.
Oh boy.
