Hmmm... The only thing that comes in your budget is Asus K Series K53SV-SX520V Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review Asus Notebook

This thing is out of stock on flipkart. Also it is not listed on Asus website so not very sure about availability.

The exact configuration of your choice i5+Nvidia+backlit will only be available in Dell XPS 15 for 53k

Lenovo Y series starts at 44k(official website) Has i3+ATI 5730M

Sony- Overpriced. Did not even check

HP - 3016tx HP Pavilion DV6 Series Dv4 - 3016tx Laptop: Flipkart.com: Compare, Review HP Notebook

For 42k you get an i5-2410 and a great ATI 6750 DDR5 GPU. Negatives - 14" screen size, no backlit keyboard.

The laptops I suggested don't seem to impress you much. So finally, something that suits you

I'm just missing the backlit keyboard. :( Otherwise it seems good config.
Btw how's asus in laptops?
 
asus is new in laptops ..so the mobo,gfx card will be build by the compan itself..

but service might be slow (heard it from a local dealer)
