Collecting from my comments (as confirmed by the OP): You are using hindi strings in your program which may not be supported by your current encoding. You can convert all char strings to wide char strings (unicode) by prepending an L to strings and change the type of strings from char * to wchar_t * .

If this change works for you, you would need more changes like:

strlen -> wcslen
%s -> %ls (in print)
printf -> wprintf (Optional)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <locale.h>

wchar_t *p[]={L"a",
              L"एक, अंग्रेजी वर्णमाला का प्रथम अक्षर तथा स्वर,( तर्क मे) पहला कल्पित पुरुष वा प्रस्ताव",
              L"aback",
              L"अचानक, एकाएक,पीछे",
};

int main()
{
  setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en_IN");
  wprintf(L"%ls -> %ls\n", p[0], p[1]);
  wprintf(L"%ls -> %ls\n", p[2], p[3]);
  return 0;
}
