I am from India and bitcoin is not illegal here nor it is regulated.Reserve Bank,the central bank,says it is still watching bitcoin revolution www.indiabitcoin.com/reserve-bank-of-india-governor-raghuram-rajan-speaks-about-bitcoin/ .
My question is if I create a cryptocurruncy (Some new Alt coin),will I be doing something illegal? Can I be put behind bars for creating a parallel currency,if it gets widely accepted?

You already said that Bitcoin is not illegal in your country, so you can create a new Crypto, but using it and marketing it is a different story, you should read and adopt the implementing rules of your government, that is getting a license to operate your coin and products and services attached to it.
You are ok and safe if you are compliant, you should also check about the rules and regulations about crowdfunding if you prefer to launch an ICO.
