I appears that you have a mismatch between the physical keyboard and the logical keyboard language. I suggest you go to the "Control Panel" "keyboard" icon and check the language options.
India is one of those countries where they ship Windows PC's with multiple languages installed.

Good Luck

Thank you.. But can you please specify what should be the language that should be set in the control panel.

I don't know what keyboard you have.

You probably have two languages defined in the computer. Probably English and perhaps Hindi (?). I suggest you just select the one not being used.

Some laptops have a PF key option to swap the keyboard languages. I suggest you check the manual for the specific keys.
