P.S : I don't have CWM installed on my tablet
 
I hope someone can prove me wrong, but I suspect you are plain and simply screwed. Changing build.prop completely, as you now know, isn't a good idea.

Your only hope is that the recovery mode lets you see build.prop, but I very much doubt that. Past that, your only choice is to re-flash the phone back to stock, do a factory reset, and hope that restores build.prop to something usable.

Not a lot of comfort, I know. :)

Yes. You can fix it. But you need to understand command prompt or SDK and push and pull files etc. If you don't. As ol boy said. Your Sol. I don't understand why anyone would play with or remove that without some form of preboot /partition recovery. And will the tablet not enter its own recovery and factory reset??,

Unless you can access a bootloader, unlock it and install a custom recovery, you have no way to use adb to push the original build.prop.

If your device supports some sort of download mode or similar method of flashing stock firmware, you could try that as well but the fact it's a Chinese tablet makes the odds of finding firmware slim I'd guess.

I'm sorry but I don't have any idea how to interface your device let alone unlock or root it. All I could recommend is trying various external key combinations to try and access the boot loader, if its even possible.
But my device is already rooted before I changed the build.prop I rooted it with a software named "UnlockRoot" and I didn't face any problem with it
