Hi Zaini,
I never saw such plant as there are hardly any fields left where wild plants grow.
However when I showed the picture to my mom, she recognised it but doesn't know it's name and said that there were a lot of these in her school playground.

milk-thistle thistle is called गोखरु or गोखरू in Hindi
Explanation:
Thistle refers to the weedy species of Cirsium, Carduus, Echinops, Sonchus, and other plant genera of the family Asteraceae. The word thistle most often refers to prickly leaved species of Carduus and Cirsium, which usually have pink or purple flowers.
