Cabomba caroliniana is reported <http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?400193>to be a native of the Americas, and naturalized elsewhere. I think the pink flowered form is uncommon, and it is not widely represented <http://www.aquaticbiologists.com/algae--weed-id-guide/submerged-weeds/cabomba> in www. FNA <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=233500297>states that "...In parts of the southeastern United States, plants with purple-tinted flowers, possibly a response to some environmental factor, have been treated as *Cabomba caroliniana* var. * pulcherrima*..."

The underwater leaves are highly dissected and fan like whereas the surface leaves of the flowering stems are entire and triangular in shape. The flowers are pink in colour. You can see the carpet of flowers in the long shot of the habitat. I hope the id is correct. I am not aware of the status of its distribution in India and whether it is an exotic escaped from ornamental aquaria plants.
