Self-rising flour mean in Hindi?

Self-raising flour Leavening agents are used with some flours,[9] especially those with significant gluten content, to produce lighter and softer baked products by embedding small gas bubbles. Self-rising (or self-raising) flour is sold premixed with chemical leavening agents. The added ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the flour which aids a consistent rise in baked goods. This flour is generally used for preparing scones, biscuits, muffins, etc. It was invented by Henry Jones and patented in 1845. Plain flour can be used to make a type of self-rising flour although the flour will be coarser. Self-rising flour is typically composed of the following ratio: 1 cup (110 g) flour 1 teaspoon (3 g) baking powder a pinch to ½ teaspoon (1 g or less) salt

Is normal flour the same as self-raising flour?

No. Cornflour is made from corn and does not rise. It's used for different reasons than self raising flour which is wheat flour with bicarb already added. Be aware with cornflour that it can also be wheat flour if it says wheaten cornflour. That concept baffles me.
