Hi Manoj
I am an Indian too - and so, feel fully qualified to understand your problem, and answer you :
To speak and write well [correctly], you must first become very familiar with the language : And the best method for that is to read as much as you can, of the CORRECT kind of English...
The Readers’ Digest is best for your purpose - with its simple and contemporary [present-day] English, mostly written in a crisp ‘active’ voice.
Keeping a dictionary nearby, to check any word you do not understand, make it a point to read at least 2 articles every day - and then try repeating from memory [in English, of course !] whatever you had read.
Also keep a good book on English Grammar [Wren & Martin’s High School Grammar is possibly the best reference book - but I am told it is currently out of print, and available only in old-book shops !] handy - to spot-check and clear any doubts on Grammar.
The more you keep reading [next step : novels by British authors, whose English does not involve too much ‘slang’], the better will your vocabulary [range of words you know to use] be !
...At the same time, take steps to improve your pronounciation :
Get VCDs or DVDs of famous films like ‘My Fair Lady’ which highlight correct English pronounciation. See this film again and again, follow how the actors pronounce words, and try imitating them aloud : You will sound funny to even yourself at first - but [if you only do not give up midway !] after a few weeks, you will find that your accents and pronounciations, have certainly improved.
....The next step : record your speaking in English, and listen to it yourself. Try to find where all you had gone wrong, and make efforts to correct those mistakes...
...After about 3-4 months of continuous effort [not before that, please !], both your vocabulary and pronounciation will have become good enough - to give you the confidence to write !
...Do not think of writing as a ‘composition’ class in a school : Imagine that you are talking to a person sitting in front of you - and simply put down what you would have talked about in writing ! [As you should have adequate knowledge of spellings by now, this will not be too much of a problem !]
Now, read whatever you have written, aloud - and try to judge what SOUNDS RIGHT, and what does not. Try to find out what was wrong, by yourself, and correct it. Repeat this, until you feel satisfied with what you have written !
...Continue this process of reading, speaking, plus writing - while testing out your new talents, upon only your friends and family. Hopefully, there should be at least one person among them, who knows GOOD English - who will support your efforts.
...Self help, dear friend, is the BEST help : No amount of expensive ‘private tutions’, or ‘conversational courses’ given by so-called experts can help you - as only your will, and efforts can.

Start off by reading simple English books. It can be for children, it doesn't matter. Just keep reading whatever you can find in English.
Buy a good dictionary to check the meaning of words and the proper spelling. Keep a notebook of words you think you will use often, or interesting words. You can also try this website:

Read. When you read you learn the correct grammar skills in speaking and writing english, it is the easiest language. Not like others you write and speak differently. Read, read read. and practise your newly skills.
