I have got a working solution for my problem which I reported long time back.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/856736?comments=all
Deleting the files

 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf
 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSans.ttf

Every page which I reported the problem after deleting above files was
rendered correct for Indian language Hindi.

Want to know why does presence of FreeSerif.ttf and FreeSans.ttf is
affecting the rendering of Hindi (Indian language)?
Can some one suggest me what more should I do to dig this further.(May
be suggesting me a few steps as how to triage this fonts problem and
the solution which I posted will be suffice)
I have already spent a lot of time to get this working.
