The best options are:
One V for 16.5-16.8k
Sensation for 21.9k with 1.1k of free accessories of your own choice from saholic.

Sola is also a good option but can't say much about it as I haven''t got hands on that device and also no proper review of that handset is available.
If you are not willing to spend much amount then go for the 1st option.

There is a scheme/offer going on Saholic.
Which is as follows:
This is how this offer works - If you buy a mobile phone and an accessory together, you will get 5% of the the price of the phone as a discount on the accessory.

Thanx for the reply .
I searched in blogs for any known issues for Sensation and i found many , like DeathGrip Issue [denied by the HTC] , screen problem , battery not lasting etc.
So, im not planning to buy sensation,
i liked One V, still i m waiting for Sola , to check it's reviews.
Xperia P is available for pre-order on inifibeam , but it is costly around 25.5k

There are no issues with the screen now....there was with a particular lot but no one has reported anymore.
The death grip issue is there in almost every phone, in case of Sensation it is hyped like in iphone 4, in reality it is not much and I'm damm sure it won't bother you.
Yes there have been issues with battery but you can neglect that it has got a 4.3" screen and a dual core processor which consumes a lot of battery so that is the reason. But it lasts for around a day easily, and also remember one thing you can't get everything in everything.
You can also consider Desire S for 16k.
And Xperia P for 25.5k....OMG....its pretty high man.
