We usually feed small birds
a combination of Hills AD (very high in fat and protein)and critical care bird formula, which may not be of the best use to you out there in India. If he'll eat off a spoon then you can try cat food - more expensive the better as it's really rich, one of the gourmet pate ones is good, mixed with water 2:1 so he wont get dehydrated. Or if you're not squeamish, get some worms, but cat food is probably easier. A bird that size should be eating around 5-10 mls of feed a day, increasing as time goes on.
Keep him in a dark room in a smallish box but not with lid on so he can see out and wont suffocate and stuff if you can - might be too late - this'll help prevent shock setting in.
Hope this helps
