I tried various things like downloading the itunes12 on my windows machine, but it does not show me devices options. Also I dont have mac. So kindly suggest how I can reinstate back my ipad in usable mode.

Hi,
I am trying to followup supplied link from morning, but its not working for me. Till morning, when I was trying to click on Home button while starting nothing was coming up, but now its linked to itune on my ipad, but there is nothing I can do in itunes app. Can you kindly guide for next steps.
Seems like my windows laptop is not able to recognize device and I am seeing issues with cable. Do we have any solution to this problem? I have another laptop which is linux ubuntu, can I perform certain activities there to gain ipad access?
Next steps are provided in the link I already posted.

Sorry no, a computer running Linux can't be used.
In your situation, I'd recommend that you ask for help at an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider.
