are you sure these are actual badges and not ornamental ones, to be used on lapels or as tie pins?
i have never seen any badges like these!

the one with the crossed swords and the national emblem is the infantry badge.
the bottom one might be a gorkha badge, go on bharat-rakshak and check the gorkha regiments out.the rest are not official badges

Dear Olly,
The second photo, badge used with one star if for Maj Gen, two for Lt Gen, with an Ashoka and a star is Chief. The third photo badge is for Indian Army ( insignia ). Rest all jewels at your service, anyone can use them.
regards

The bottom one might be a Gorkha badge but not from the Gurkha's of the Indian Army. It has a typical Nepalese Crown on it.

There is no Rajput Rifles in the Indian Army.
There is a Rajput Regt. and a Rajputana Rifles though and that one belongs to neither.

Rajput rifles? Rajputana rifles ... spiltting hair.
The third one in the second set is an epaluale cross for a Maj Gen and above.
