Hi Varun, I reworked your picture by lightening and cropping so that it displays better and put it second position. Perhaps you can learn how to do this, it is often useful for getting an ID.
There are no bald eagles in India. It looks like a Black Kite as the Red has a deeper notch in the tail.
Maybe an eagle or kite.Can't exactly say which one.
