Hi Divyanshu,
Thank you for your interest!
Some initial information on development is available in out wiki:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Inkscape
What we discovered is that the best way to get started with development is to try fixing some small bug that you care about. As soon as you have questions regarding some parts of code, don't hesitate to mail to this list.
Always nice to hear from new people who are interested in joining the development team :-)
Here you can find some specific information about GSoC (note that the page is out-of-date a bit, and we are updating it for the coming GSoC). http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_Of_Code#The_.22two _patches.22_rule Note the text about the "two patches" rule, and some information to get started on a small bug fix.
To compile Inkscape on your own PC: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Bazaar and http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_Inkscape
