Many thanks to all of you for bothering to reply !!

According to both your suggestions, I droped the database "gis", and recreated it !

Now when I did execute the following command 
____________________________________________________________
./osm2pgsql -l -E EPSG:4326 -d gis ~/mapnik-0.6.0/osmFiles/india.osm.bz2


It resulted in the following output:
____________________________________________________________
osm2pgsql SVN version 0.69-19270

Using projection SRS 4326 (Latlong)
Setting up table: planet_osm_point
NOTICE:  table "planet_osm_point" does not exist, skipping
NOTICE:  table "planet_osm_point_tmp" does not exist, skipping
SELECT AddGeometryColumn('planet_osm_point', 'way', 4326, 'POINT', 2 );
 failed: ERROR:  AddGeometryColumns() - invalid SRID
CONTEXT:  SQL statement "SELECT AddGeometryColumn('','', $1 , $2 , $3 , $4 , $5 )"
PL/pgSQL function "addgeometrycolumn" line 4 at SQL statement

Error occurred, cleaning up

====================================================================
Then I executed the following command:
psql -f 900913.sql -d gis

It resulted in the following output:
INSERT 0 1

====================================================================
Then I executed the following command 
____________________________________________________________
./osm2pgsql -l -E EPSG:4326 -d gis ~/mapnik-0.6.0/osmFiles/india.osm.bz2


and again it resulted in the following output:
____________________________________________________________
osm2pgsql SVN version 0.69-19270

Using projection SRS 4326 (Latlong)
Setting up table: planet_osm_point
NOTICE:  table "planet_osm_point" does not exist, skipping
NOTICE:  table "planet_osm_point_tmp" does not exist, skipping
SELECT AddGeometryColumn('planet_osm_point', 'way', 4326, 'POINT', 2 );
 failed: ERROR:  AddGeometryColumns() - invalid SRID
CONTEXT:  SQL statement "SELECT AddGeometryColumn('','', $1 , $2 , $3 , $4 , $5 )"
PL/pgSQL function "addgeometrycolumn" line 4 at SQL statement

Error occurred, cleaning up


PLEASE HELP, IF YOU CAN !!
