Sawmliana Ji, I still think it is *Colocasia* and maybe *C. esculenta*. As per one doc (I have pasted link yesterday <http://www.mutagens.co.in/jgb/vol.02/3/03.pdf>) *C. gigantea* can be found in your region and the entire plant is edible. But that species is a stout one.
In *C. esculenta* appendix is narrowly conic <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200027262>. The appendix of your plant is clavate, similar to the illustration of *C. fallax* in FoC <http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=122201&flora_id=2>. Pic DSCN1602 lacks an appendix, which is sometimes a feature of *C. fallax* , *C. antiquorum* (leaves glossy adaxially as per FoC) and very short in *C. gigantea*. Please check probability of *C. fallax*.
