Understanding any big system is a tough job - but people are doing it all the
time - otherwise, you won't be having so much of free software!
But then, it helps if you start out with smaller projects - that's why I
recommend RTEMS - the project seems to have a good community around it, and
there is at least one very good Indian developer in it (Aanjhaan) who will go
to any length to motivate and encourage students like you.

No, it is not. Doing things yourself is the *only* way to do it. The community
will be there to help you - but only if you put in sincere, committed work
yourself.

Learn generic os theory (you have to know what a semaphore is .. stuff like
that), learn assembly/C thoroughly, learn at least one CPU architecture well,
understand more about the system software toolchain (compiler, assembler,
linker etc), download RTEMS, run it, join the project mailing list/irc channel,
talk with the developer/user community, fix bugs, write code, learn, enjoy
yourself, have fun!!
