You didn't tell enough to answer those questions. . is this a text-mode (a.k.a. "TTY") frame or a GUI frame? . what kind of "numbers" do you see? please show examples . what else is in file1 and file2 besides the Kannada text? what are the differences between file1 and file2? . what happens if you create a file with _only_ the Kannada text? . what is the major mode Emacs uses for each of the files?
