Answer
Rupa,
make sure you take her to a class and get her socialized.  Also put some bad tasting stuff, like hot sauce on your hand and when she bites make sure she gets it in her mouth.  Carry her all the time but try different positions until you can carry her and she stops wiggling.   
also when she bites, put your hand down her throat and hold it there until she gags.  This way she will not want anyones hand in her mouth.  give her plenty of chew toys also.  She sound like she is teething.
