Better mention every visit as it appears on your passport, rather than delaying processing due to clarification by VO. In some cases, they have rejected files due to incomplete travel histroy. Why take risk. You can always explain that these are stopovers.
How to present this though?
Basically
1) I left for UK in Sept 2007 for pursuing MSc (what is the length of my trip here? Overall its 3yrs 4months but I traveled back to India before spending all of my 3 yrs 4 months there? So should I mention here 1 year 3 months instead of overall 3 years 4 months?)
2) I came back to India in December during Christmas for some 15 days (Do I need to show this? This is inward travel to the India not outward)
3) Traveled back to UK in December after those 15 days (Here again what will be the length of my travel? 1 yr 9 months? Because I made another trip to India for another 15 days during September 2010)
4) I came back to India in September 2010 for some 15 days (Do I need to show this? This is again an inward travel to the India not outward)
5) I returned to the UK in August 2010 after 15 days planned trip to India.
6) Left UK forever in January 2011 and headed straight to UAE for a couple of months on tourist visa.
How would you put them all ?
