Will absence of 8 months from the US affect when I file for citizenship & naturalization?
I am currently in US and in 5 years had 3 short trips less than 6 months to India, just 1 was for 8 months.
I have my employment continued in US and also has rented apartment during this 8 months.
How can I show that I did not disrupt my residency?
 
If you can convince the interviewer you did not abandon your residence, you can be naturalised. It all depends on that.
 
I’m curious as to what type of job you can keep while you’re away for 8 months. Were you working remotely from India? I presume it’s not a job working for a relative or anything like that.

Good luck, this is a topic of interest to a number of people, it would be great if you return here after your interview and let us know if you were successful and what you had to show if you were.
