Not clear. How apostrophe could mean "India"? What does it mean, "accept"? How is this related to your code? What happens, exactly?

Replace the single quote with a double quote.
Example - like '%''something''%'

You can look at examples here -

Check the below code

just replace the ' by ''

C#

private void SearchText(string strSearchText) 
    { 
        DataTable dt = GetRecords(); 
        DataView dv = new DataView(dt); 
        string SearchExpression = null;
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(strSearchText))
        {
            SearchExpression = string.Format("{0} '%{1}%'", grdSearch.SortExpression, strSearchText.Replace("'","''"));
          
          
            dv.RowFilter = "country_name like" + SearchExpression;
 
            grdSearch.DataSource = dv;
            grdSearch.DataBind();
        }
        else
            ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "msg", "alert('Enter Search Text')", true);
            
    }
