If your asylum application get denied and you have to go back to india, just go to indian consulate, tell them this is an emergency and get temporary travelling document. They will not know about your asylum application unless you tell them or show them any asylum related documents. I had to renew my passport while my asylum application was in process.
They refused to renew passport again (I think after four years) when they saw the code (code for asylum approved) on my work permite.
 
I want to ensure you that US government will never disclose any information from your asylum application. Don't worry.
 
Do you know of any cases when they did?

Yes. It is either an oversight on the part of a lower level person or as a result of the top brass making a decision to disclose. The law gives the Attorney General and the DHS Secretary wide discretion to disclose the contents of an asylum claim.
