/u/pramit57, I read your responses and it seems clear to me that the strings are causing the problem. Entirely. Without question. This problem will not go away until you take those strings off. Possibly until they're out of the house, in the dump, far far away from your violin. Maybe perform a cleansing ritual over your instrument before putting the next set on.
I mean, I looked them up to get an idea of price range you were looking at, and how far off you really were from Dominants. Turns out, these things are about $3 a set. I mean. I'm shocked you got anything more sophisticated than different thicknesses of wire, honestly.
So, yes, it seems that Dominants are out of the question. (Also, WOW Dominants are marked up in India. 8800??? That's about $130, for my US peeps. That's approximately what I pay for Evah Gold viola strings.) But in this case, you really should look into some of those brands in the $ price range on that string chart. This might even be a situation where Red Labels are an improvement. I have no idea how many of those options are available in India, but I would bet some are. For instance, there's a set of D'Addario Pro Arte strings for 4099, which, I know, is a lot more, but at least they're synthetic core and from a reputable company. There's also D'Addario Preludes, which looks like a comparable level to Red Labels, for 2250. They're still steel core, but at least they're wound, not plated like yours. Just a disclaimer, I've never tried either of these, but D'Addario is legit and they've got to be better than what you have.
