Dear Gurcharan ji,
I am mesmerized by your flowers from Kashmir, which are arriving in
waves!
This one, I think, should be Impatiens edgeworthii, which is supposed
to be common in Kashmir. The rounded wings of the lateral united
petals are a distinguishing feature.

I would go with Dinesh - Malvastrum coromandelianum, most probably.
The viens on the upper suraface of the leaves look too deeply
impressed for it to be Sida rhombifolia.

I suspect it to be Potentilla nepalensis, mainly because of its
pinkish color, instead of reddish. However, can't say anything
confidently without seeing more aspects of the plant.

It would be nice to settle doubts.

Pravin,
Dukkarkanda is the Marathi name for Tacca aspera. However, your
plant looks like something completely different.
Also I don't think any Dioscorea has fruit like the one here.

Shouldn't this be the Himalayan species, Thymus linearis?

Yes, this should be Arisaema jacquemontii. Arisaema tortuosum has a
long projecting upright spadix.
The second flower looks like Impatiens glandulifera, but would need a
clearer picture to be sure.

Coincidence. We both agreed
the needle-like point at the end
of the leaflets and the terminal leaflet being larger and of different
shape.
By the way, the current name is Chamaecrista kolabensis.
