Oriental garden lizard?
It is an insectivore and the male gets a bright red throat in the breeding season leading to a common incorrect name of "Bloodsucker".

Hello. I don't think this looks like Psammophilus dorsalis which additionally occurs on the east side of India http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Psammo...
