Update on the issue. I am sorry in advance about the long log files taking up space in post. I couldn't see a way of embedding it as attachment.
I uninstalled babel and re-installed again using the package managerStefan_K wrote:For the update of babel use your package manager. With MiKTeX click Start/ MiKTeX/ Browse Packages, with TeX Live use the tlmgr program.
Did this step as well.Stefan_K wrote: Perhaps you will have to rebuild the format files afterwards, you can find information here: Updating babel.

Now, I think MikTeX is well and truly broken. When I issue a simple call to build the "mwe.tex" (the one shared later on in this post), I get this log.
Code: Select all
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (MiKTeX 2.7)(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)

I am thinking of re-installing MikTex from scratch and take if forward again.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Skanda.
Update!:
I managed to uninstall and re-install MikTeX
Update!:
Even after uninstalling-restarting-re-installing MikTeX, I am encountering the same problems. Could anyone be kind enough to give a set of instructions for resetting the cfg files and babel for MikTeX? There is no write-up on the net upto my own Google searching, and I am not expert enough to figure out what is going wrong...
Thanks in advance,
Skanda
