I have done it as follows :"test double quotes" and 'test double quotes' which generated the output of the form : 
Is there a way i can generate the correct output without changing the quotes in all the places ? I saw some similar answers @ Isn't there any other way of doing double quotes in LaTeX besides `` + ''? but none seemed to work.

Here's a LuaLaTeX-based solution, which doesn't require you to modify the existing "..." and '...' pairs of quotes. It consists of a Lua function called msq (short for 'make smart quotes') and two utility LaTeX macros which switch the Lua function on and off.
documentclassbook
usepackage[english]babel % or some other suitable language choice
usepackage[autostyle]csquotes
usepackageluacode
beginluacode
-- msq: "make smart quotes"
function msq ( s )
s = s:gsub ( '"(.-)"' , "\enquote%1" )
s = s:gsub ( "'(.-)'" , "`%1'" )
return s
end
endluacode
newcommandmsqOndirectlua luatexbase.add_to_callback(
"process_input_buffer", msq , "msq" )
newcommandmsqOffdirectlua luatexbase.remove_from_callback(
"process_input_buffer", "msq" )
begindocument
msqOn
"test double quotes" and 'test single quotes'
msqOff
"test double quotes" and 'test single quotes'
