Tabish ji, you are right about Oxytropis microphylla. Small leaflets, large 
pink flowers, hairy calyx and glandular swellings are clearly visible and 
distinctive.

I think the first one is different from the other two plants.
The first one could be Oxytropis microphylla, which is distinguished
by its tiny leaflets up to 8 mm long. Also the calyx is supposed to be
hairy with glandular swellings. I presume what is visible, on the
calyx of the unopened flowers, are glandular swellings.
   However, I would like somebody to validate my guess.
