After learning basics of installation and types of file system, I found that Linux(Ubuntu) can open,create and delete file on an NTFS file system, where as windows can't even see ext series! so my question if Linux can scan and modify the file operations on NTFS why can't it be installed on an NTFS partition (irrespective of Primary or Logical).

That is mainly because Linux has a strict permissions policy for its OS, from the user's directory on to the kernel. These permissions are not supported by the NTFS file system.
