Argiope anasuja
it so frustration having to filter through the wrong id's, nick photo is about as close as your going to get following the taxonomy guide. but the links for the A.anasuja has more identifaction points than the A.pulchella links i have i would have to agree with you on A.anasuja unless there is a new sub-species XD
I also checked Pulchella first, that was the name which came first in my mind after the discussion of the one from Atul. I ruled Pulchella out due to the color patterns. And I again noticed that many of these Indian Argiope are not correctly IDed, a real mixture of everything, which does the whole thing not easier.
This is in my eyes a trustable Pulchella from Nick, note the different colors:

What do you think, Janine?
I agree, Argiope sp. and should be Argiope anasuja.
