Hello everyone!
I want to start robotics as a hobby but dont know where to start, not a lot of stuff on internet, So How do i start Robotics?? can you suggest some good kits plz.

Also, can i just learn C programming language or need special programming?? :o

A good way to start would be with this site's first robot tutorial (http://societyofrobots.com/robot_tutorial.shtml (http://societyofrobots.com/robot_tutorial.shtml)) and $50 robot (http://societyofrobots.com/step_by_step_robot.shtml (http://societyofrobots.com/step_by_step_robot.shtml)). That'll get you started. After that, get ideas from here, other electronics websites, or books such as "robot builders bonanza" or "intermediate robot building".
Any questions/problems, just ask. We're all friendly!
Thanks,
Barnaby

I agree. The $50 robot project is a great way to get started. You will be programming in C, so that's a fine language to learn. And there are a bunch of people on this site specifically who can help you debug it.
