Which terminal are you in?
Perhaps try
stty erase '^?'
before starting Vim. (Type it exactly like that, with a literal ^ followed by a
literal ?.) Because changing that to ^H breaks things for me, and putting it back
to ^? fixes it. Maybe you will have the same luck.
Likewise, inside Vim, you could try
:set t_kb=^?
That ^? is not literal, though; to get it, just press backspace (since that is
what backspace is providing you with anyway!). If you are using colour, the ^?
should appear a different colour to the other text, and the arrows should move
across it as if it were a single character.

Thanks Christian. But it's not working. Although, hitting Ctrl + H is getting me
the work done.! I think i will have to get used to Ctrl + H for backspace!
Thanks

Try to set it manually, by setting
:set t_kb=^V<BS>
(this is pressing <Ctrl-V> and afterwards backspace. This sets this
option to the raw keycode of backspace (and it usually looks like ^H,
but is only one char).
Additionally, see if any of the following help sections help you
:h :fixdel (and read at least until Linux-backspace)
:h backspace-delete

Christian
