Get the iPad Mini, 7" tablet that is just priced at the top limit of your budget. The battery life, display and overall quality of iPad is superb and I'd recommend it over other tablets any day. Unless you have special love for Android, I'd recommend iOS over Android.

I'd also recommend latest Samsung Galaxy tablets; but I'm not sure how good they are on the battery backup - which I believe is critical. Do check out Samsung Tab 3 310 which is priced just a little above your budget; but should be a great buy if you insist on Android.

This seems to be quite awesome: #-Link-Snipped-# - but it will take some time to arrive. Maybe a month more.

For all of the above you mentioned, the operating system doesn't matter much. What matters more is the 'battery life' and Apple seems to beat everybody. Anyway, I'm not an Apple evangelist 😉

galaxt tab battery life is not good/ So I might suggest against it , unless you are using it minimally. Specs for Nexus are great, the last time i checked, both Nexus and IPAD did not have 3G facility, this was few months ago, though both support wifi

Ipad comes in two variants. 3G+Wi-Fi & Wi-Fi only. The price of the former is slightly more. I've been using iPad for a long time now and for the entertainment purpose - they're second to none.

My biggest complaint against Android is that they totally drain the battery like water running from an open tap. Android's engineers have already acknowledged that Android's battery handling capacity will never match that of iOS.

Unless the device is going to be used for some development purpose [and I think being a Java coder, you'll want to experiment with that] there aren't many reasons I'd prefer Android over iOS. I can tell you this after owning Android and iOS devices for extended period of time.

Go for Nexus 7 (or Aakash Tablet : Okay, I am kidding)
It will take couple months for New Nexus 7 to launch in India. I suggest you to wait for that gadget.
You'll get latest Android update of version 4.3, also Ubuntu Touch official support from canonical (No porting BS). So, From April 2014, you can switch to Ubuntu Touch stable if you wish to.

Hence, I recommend Nexus 7 👍

I also recommend new #-Link-Snipped-# , get from overseas or wait for few days to launch in India.
New Nexus 7 is full HD (1080*1920) vs ipad mini (768*1024) , more than twice resolution. Even if Apple is launching new iPad 7, I have doubt it would be full HD.

Looks impossible.current US price is $229 that means it must be going to somewhere between 17K to 19k. But still I think it worth.

Sadly No!
That's the only feature which Nexus 7 is lacking 😔
You can buy Nexus 7 from Amazon India at 11,999 INR. Unbelievably cheap cost for such a good gadget.

Buy a nexus and interface sim card using HDMI cable that will be a grand solution to your problem or use data cards

Most tablets support datacards But they will need an additional cable to go along with them
