For your budget and requirements, a MacBook Air would be the best choice imo.

It is a very good gaming laptop as per specs.
But remeber it is sold at Amazon.com (the US site) not at Amazon.in(India site).

The cost of $999 = Rs.63,972.54p as of Today's exchange valuation.
You have to consider the import duties + taxes,which might lead to Rs.75k or so. Be prepared to increase your budget if you buy this one from Amazon.com site.
