About programing, a general question

[Ranjan Maitra]

In my opinion, if you really want to learn computing and its 
intricacies, unforgiving C would be the place to start.

In the ocean of the languages, to start with is really very typical. Can one justify it. Some say Python but again they say it is Perl which is better every time then the Python. Some say to start with C or C++ but again some emphasis to use Java or C#. Many say to go for .Net and VB or COBOL and some say to learn web based programing like HTML, PHP, ASP.Net. In this ocean who is just starting to learn which one he should prefer?

Not to generate the big projects for the management processes, not even banking system but to know the basic of programing like how to handle the machines at the first, for that purpose, for the the scratch level purpose and for the one which is good even for Linux, what programing language should one like me, initiate?
