Ant

Camponotus sericeiventris is a neotropical species and not found in India. But it actually might be a Camponotus sp., which has tons of different species. I did not found any reasonable match.

See if this looks like your ant: Camponotus sericeiventris http://www.pbase.com/splluk/image/130986016

Not really a suggestion, rather a "not exactly matching hint" ;-)...

Polyrhachis illaudata looks not so bad, depending on the light angulation, but I am not happy with the missing white tip

I found ID this site here: http://www.antweb.org/ Maybe you can help. :)
