This is Marsilea minuta, a common plant of  damp fields, rice-fields, and
ponds.  To confirm the identity you need to show the sorocarps, which are
borne on the lower-growing, smaller, non-aquatic plants,  But it is no
problem as only M. minuta is in northern India, including  J. & K..

In the past such plants were often mistaken for the European M.
quadrifolia, which is not present in India - but that has a quite different
position of the sorocarps - on the lower leaf-petiole, as opposed to in the
axil of the petiole and basal stem.

It's also edible.
