I am trying to make an app in which i need to add Calendar Events , But somewhere i read in a blog that i need to have "REAL DEVICE"
to test it and cannot be used with the Emulator. Is it legitimate ???

Indeed, the emulator does not come with the Google Apps (Calendar, Market, Youtube, Maps, etc.) So you can test the app, but there won't be a Calendar app that can handle the calendar intents.
Since Android is Google Product, then why they dont include Google Apps in Emulator ?
Iff , there wont be any Calendar , then is there any way to test it on Emulator, i mean is it possible to install Calendar apk on emulator and then try or do i need to buy
Real Android device.

Because the Google Android apps are not open source. While a device manufacturer is free to use Android due to its open source nature, those apps need to be licensed from Google, or they can't be shipped with an Android device. That's why some low-cost tablets do not include them, and it's one way that Google makes money from Android.
If you're serious about Android development you need at least one actual device for testing anyway.
