Through help on this site I was able to draw the triangles of an unrotated, nonscaled nontransformed mesh created in Blender and exported to OBJ, accurately imported through Assimp and rendered in XNA Graphics.
However after applying rotation on a single axis in Blender(Z) and adding materials(I wanted to test loading of materials through Assimp) the same mesh appears incomplete. Is something wrong with my view matrix or is it something else?
This is what the unrotated mesh looks like:

Here is the rotated mesh:

Camera, View and Projection are defined as follows:
cameraPos = new Vector3(0, 5, 9);
viewMatrix = Matrix.CreateLookAt(cameraPos, new Vector3(0, 0, 1), new Vector3(0, 1, 0));
projectionMatrix = Matrix.CreatePerspectiveFieldOfView(MathHelper.PiOver4, device.Viewport.AspectRatio, 1.0f, 200.0f);
Rendering is done through this code:
device.Clear(ClearOptions.Target | ClearOptions.DepthBuffer, Color.DarkSlateBlue, 1.0f, 0);
effect = new BasicEffect(GraphicsDevice);
effect.VertexColorEnabled = true;
effect.View = viewMatrix;
effect.Projection = projectionMatrix;
effect.World = Matrix.Identity;
foreach (EffectPass pass in effect.CurrentTechnique.Passes)
{
pass.Apply();
device.SetVertexBuffer(vertexBuffer);
device.Indices = indexBuffer;
device.DrawIndexedPrimitives(Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.PrimitiveType.TriangleList, 0, 0, oScene.Meshes[0].VertexCount, 0, mMesh.FaceCount);
}
base.Draw(gameTime);
