Hmm its definitely hard to get all the POI's in mapnik . But
Osmarender (t at h) can accommodate new Points of Interest .

1. See that the tag which is used for that particular point is in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features
You can file a ticket for both the rendering engines if it is available .
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/

2. Is the tag widely used ?
  Yes = Do mention them here .
  No = Than see if an appropriate tag could be used , If not propose a new tag .

Its a bit of tiring/long process to get new stuff into the map hosted
at OSM website . The easiest thing you could do is to have your own
rendering .

Since you have mentioned Jammu & Kashmir .Lawgon has been running a
mapnik instance for India .

You can ask him to include our desi tags on the map :)
