This is definitely the right forum to be asking the question. Being in the US, I don't know much about the market in India, but...
I think that certifications will help you get the kind of job you're looking for, but after some work. At least here, it's a good idea to look around for any opportunity, or to work on some Open Source projects, something to show some experience with the language, as a way to get your foot in the door. Certifications help, but they're not the be-all and end-all to getting a job.
Hope that helps, at least a little bit, if not to start the conversation...
