hi, public speaking is onething ur afraid ok. first think when ur speaking private hav u ever afraid. then u say no. now u think what may be the reason for ur afraid. discover the reason, i think u find no reason becoz there is nothing to afraid. its only ur feeling and hearing the frnds words. one thing i say is u dont hav to afraid to any one in ur life when ur did right thing at right time. u need not afraid evn 2 god when ur in ur limits. u question ur self what might b the reason for my afraid of public speaking. u assume dat while ur in public, u assume dat ur in private and think all r ur frnds. then dere wnt arises no question of public speaking fear.to solve this problem there is also other option is read good books by famous authors and autobiographies etc which will give u lot of strenth and gives u self confident. i would also suggest u to be confident on wat ur doing i.e self confident. u do anything only wen ur having full confidence on it , dat it will hit the bull without any doubt.
u vl be an good speakr in public speaking bt not as soon u start. u can also b an orator. provided it wil take some time for practice.
To b good in english u hav to practice alot like practice speaking englilsh daily wit ur frnds and relatives wat ever the words it is , right or wrong. bt it wil slowly help u. u should also read english newspapers, magazines and watch english news channels. soon u wil definetely become a good speaker in english, im confident in it.
finally u dont care for otheres wat dey say abt u and wat others think abt u and ur words, sentences. let them say and do the hell .hav a confident on wat u do and hope that my speech wil not make fun by others, u should not allow them to make fun.cultivate the habit of self confidnt and i m sure that everything works wit u.

VV its called a stage fright.................

The best way i've found to get over stage fright is to just practice in front of people.
start out in front of the mirror, then your family, then your friends, and so on and so forth.
just make sure you know your material and you feel comfortable with it before you practice in front of people.

As for improving your english accent I will recomend you to watch english movies /english channel on your TV to improve the accent. Some people have south Indian accent, some have neutral accent and some have american accent.

Make sure you're listening to a lot of the target accent, and practise different mouth positions until you can do it. Try recording yourself and comparing it to a British speaker recording. Check these out for sources:

First start speaking before a mirror. It would help you to rectify your mistakes. Do not afriad to speak when yiou are travelling, when you are in the company of people. Then stage fear would go graduallly. Prepare the speech in advance on what topic you want to speak. Remember- even for Prime Minister and Chief Ministers, there are script writers who prepare speeches on the subject that the degnetery is going to address.based on the ;
