fyi,
There was an off-list response to my mail that solved my problem. The
encoding for the text file is PC-ISCII which was used by editors such
as gist card (hardware), ALP and leap developed at CDAC. Unfortunately
these run on windows and not on GNU/Linux. Hence the person was kind
enough to convert my files on his machine.
