Hi King..
There are many contests which offer SLR Camera as prizes.. You need to keep searching for them and might hit the jackpot!
The one that is going on now is from Nikon (Nikon Photo Contest International 2010-2011). They are offering different cameras ranging from Nikon D3S digital-SLR camera (costing Rs 2.9 lac) to D5000 (Rs 50K). There are 53 cameras to be won and just not that, you will have Lenses, Speedlight and other accessories along with this. Indians are open to participate.

Some tips to win:
# Do check the previous years winners list and you can get an idea of the kind of photos that get selected for finals
# Comply strictly by the rules (format, image size, categories etc.)
# Check the list of judges, google their name and go to their websites, see what kind of photos they like to shoot..
Do keep in mind.. if you are opting to win a prize, don't go by the notion of what photo of yours you like most.. but see and enter only those photos which may win you a camera.
Last year, a young boy from Mumbai won a high end DSLR from Canon in a street photography contest. He didn't even own a camera, he had hired one for a day from a local store for the contest.. took pictures, submitted them and he became a Lucky winner!! The article about him came in Better Photography Magazine.
So, there's all hope!!
All the best!!
EDIT: Here's one contest for Canon EOS 7D digital SLR camera to be won. Follow the link for details:

How to become wildlife photographer ?
Haren
I have general knowledge of wildlife photography as my hobby (not professional purpose). Professionally I am a software programmer. Also I am not graduate in any subject. I have a strong interest to become a professional wildlife photographer. how can I proceed, I am from India. and what type of camera is good for professional wildlife photography ?
Answer
Any camera that performs well in low light and uses interchangeable lenses will work fine
The major cost is going to be the long lenses and the time you have to sit patiently in the blind until the animals show up.
Most people who shoot wildlife as part of their career in photography, use a cropped sensor dSLR to add reach without spending too much money.
The shortest lens you will need is a 300 mm and those can cost up to $6,000, but if you shoot midday, you can get a nice 70-300 mm zoom, under $600.
To find cameras that perform well under low light (high ISO), you will want to spend some time on this website.
