OK, you're talking about URL-rewriting - different animal - sorry for the misleading info earlier...
There are software applications you can install on your server to handle this for you. You must create the new URL, use the new URL in your navigation and program the software to understand (it's easy - one doc) that when a user clicks the NEW URL, they want the content that resides at the OLD URL.
be careful, though.
The spiders will have indexed the OLD URL and when they see the NEW URL, they'll index that too - now you'll have dupe content - two URLs, same content - not good.
I'm working on this right now at work for our websites.
Looks liek the way to go will be to do as above, then insert a robots.txt file on the root for the domain. THAT .txt file will instruct the spiders to NOT index anything below (insert a directory here).
This should, over time, allow the engines to drop the old URLs form the index and keep the newer URLs, since they CAN spider those.
It takes a bit to wrap your head around this, but it should work.
...and thus far, I have not found anything which would simply rewrite URLs on the fly for you - at least nothing which wouldn't be considered a spammy trick by the engines.
Applications as I mentioned above function only when you tell it:
new URL = old URL
You cannot simply say, "Hey, take a look at the old URL and send everyone who asks for it to this new URL." Your site's navigation must use the NEW URLs for the application to function properly and do what you want - which is to leave the content at the old URL, but *show* a new URL to everyone.
We're doing this to simply show cleaner URLs to humans and spiders (which I still personally think borders on spammy, but...)
If I'm missing something on this front gang, please let me know - happy to learn of new things on this while I'm still working on it.

You got it. That is the correct way to do things.

Thanks sportsman for the reply., What is that software you were talking about.,
Further, I already did a mod rewrite to all my dynamic urls to look like:
mysite.com/india/abcd-100/12/
All searchengines except yahoo removed the old urls from their database and have listed my new urls.,
But yahoo alone, now have Both the URLs (Dynamic and rewritten urls) in their listings., I fear that this may lead to duplicate content.
All i need now is to 301 redirect all my dynamic urls to my New rewritten url Or a way to remove all the Old Dynamic urls from Yahoo's index .

Software is: Qwerksoft - Google them.
If your mod-rewrite is working, run with it - just make sure you're passing things around properly, or you *might* get tagged for some improper (as the engines see it) redirecting.
As for Yahoo having both URLs - do some research, but I think you'l find that it's just going to take them time to update their cache. Putting up the 301s should help speed that for them by "showing" them there's been a permanent move there.
