Hey Deepu, I'd got for the 1000D with the 3 lenses.  If you get a 50mm f/1.8 lens its going to be great for low light photography and a shallow depth of field, and the 55-300mm lens will be great for shooting subjects in the distance as the 18-55mm lens really doesn't give you much reach.

which is right choice 1000d with 50mm, 18-55mm & 55-300mm lens od 1100d with 18-55mm lens
