most probably aphids...share images if possible. Soap spray would work insha Allah....spray every day till gone

There is a shielding wax coating which protects soft bodied insects. Without their wax protection, the insects dehydrate very quickly. The vegetable oil dissolve the wax coating easily after that soap water absorbs and actually interferes with the cell membranes of the insect so stopping the normal chemical reactions at cell level, which keep its body working. If you are using a vegetable based oil soap, there is no need of adding vegetable oil into the mix.
All these methods are in my personal use from last two years and I never use any commercial poisonous Pesticides on my plants. Check this link for hazards of chemical pesticides.

i was just searching for pestscide spray on many websites, and i get this one. my tinda plant is affected by some sort of orange colour small insects which are sticking to lower surface of leaves. i am much worried about them. i am going to try soap water spray. let see what happen. if you know any other remedy let me know plz...

after spray today they turned brown in colour. do you know are they dead? or just have an adult stage of their life????????

i have paste images. although aphids are dead but my plant is also get damaged . it got wilt and oily as you can see in images. please give any solution.....

It appears that the solution that you made was of very high concentration which has burnt leaves.
Nothing much can be done now. Remove affected/burnt leaves and wash the plant with plain water to wash away any agents still present on surface.

If 1 1/2 liter bottle. two-three drops of detergent and half tea spoon of oil.
