Dear Garg ji,
This looks like Prenanthes brunoniana, (Family: Asteraceae)??

Prashant

Right you are

thanks for correcting my confusion

It cannot be a Asteraceae member. For me, tt is not even
Fuchsia . In Fuchsia the ovary is inferior.

Mr. Mahadeswara is right to the point that it doesnt look like
Asteraceae and in no ways it looks like Fuschia either (not even
distant relative). But there was a time when a family was erected
called Lactucaceae where this group was placed as they looked
differently, but they were merged back to asteraceae later on.
This is undoubtedly Prenanthes brunoniana as Prashant sir says!

Pankaj ji

When I read your first line, I was taken aback, but luckily you explained it so well. It is Prenanthes brunoniana for sure.
