Rawatji, I was going by the assumption that the text can be easily extracted from his pdf by saving as txt. In that case just running the sed script will fix the text for the letters with diacritics which were mapped to some other letters in the ascii font.
Doing OCR never gives 100% correct result, so to use the OCR output and postprocess in this case may not be the best solution. You could try windows version of sed from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm i only tested using one para of text from page 11.
