Can someone suggest me a tablet around 7 inch within the range of <= 15K?
1) I don't want Akash or Akash2
2) I don't want an HCL tablet
3) I don't want an MTNL tablet and
4) I don't want some CHEAP chinese crap.

It should be robust enough to be handled by children.
Like HCL Tablets, it SHOULDN'T!!! have any restriction loading anything from Google play store
A camera will be a preference but not a need.
Higher resolution will be a preference but not a need

As rudswa said, I'd also suggest you to go with nexus 7 , its stellar. I myself bought the 8 GB, though it didn't arrive yet (waiting for 21 days :O ). You won't get 8 GB model on local Indian website since it's mostly out of stock in most of countries where it's available. amazon.com is way to go (some third party sellers do ship worldwide)

I had purchased it online from homeshop18 for Rs. 14999 when superdeal was on :) (Though they're out of stock now)

I know but take a look at his budget?, 16 GB would least go to 20k which he can't afford as he said already .

Add 3k more and get Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and get peace of mind, don't buy cheap tabs, my funbook is in warranty center for the next month or so, rampant battery issues.

I suppose you can get some good samsung tabs in your budget. I don't have that much knowledge about the apps and cameras of the same, you have to check it yourself.
