Thank you jgorneau for the valuable information and the id. :) going by your suggestions and links, i think i have a picture of a nymph and a mature katydid ;) i shall provide their links just now. :)

I would put Juvenile in parentheses after true katydid.

I would say to be specific, this is a true katydid, but they do not live in India. I will suggest nevertheless.

If you search Katydid Nymph on this website, many of the katydid nymphs look too spotted, with too long antennae.
Jacob Gorneau
This is definitely a immature katydid, but I do not think it is a katydid nymph. Here is a link to a katydid nymph: http://www.art.com/products/p13670111-sa-i2707965/george-grall-katydid-nymph-walks-on-a-leaf.htm Here is a link to a juvenile katydid, a bit older than the nymph: http://www.flickr.com/photos/36948942@N08/4868821526/
