There is no way you can change your caste. After reading your story it seems that you have lost faith in yourself. First of all don't think of taking any drastic step as if the girl is major and is ready and willing to marry you then no person can stop you to marry her. If both of you are Hindu then you can marry under the Hindu Marriage Act. otherwise you can marry under Special marriages Acts. Also, you and your girlfriend both have to first think of changing the minds of her parents in proper way and to convience them that if the two persons are comfertable with each other and that you are capable of keeping their daughter in good and proper condition and provide her everything and she will be happy if she marries you instead of marrying to some unknown person from her own caste. If the girl is not ready and willing to go beyond the wish of her parents then you can't force her to do so and in that case you will have to change your mind, instead of thinking of dying and weasting your precious life.

caste can not be changed, as it based upon the birth of the concerned person. therefore leave this thinking that - how caste can be changed?
you take sometime to mix up with your girlfriend's family, project yourself as a good, gentle and deserving boy before them.
if they are still rigid then take some more time.

No, be patience and also be wise and dont take such hasty decision of taking poison, as it will not serve you and your girl any useful purpose. Take the suggestions as suggested by Kulkarni and Arup.

Cast can not be changed. If u want to leave your cast you can change your religion. But it wont help you to get your goal. So act as per advice of the Ld. friends and try to solve the problem amicably.
Arup (UNEMPLOYED) 18 May 2010
change of religion does not amount to change of caste.
caste decided on the basis of birth.
if a person change his religion then also he is entitled to get the benifit of caste.
Ashok Yadav (Lawyer) 18 May 2010
Mr. Arup Kumar Gupta, will you pls explain under which law the person who change his religion can take benefit of his cast. Can u pls specify the Act or any SC ruling in this regard. I want to know it because as per my view if a person has change his religion means he has left all his rights in his family & property.
Arup (UNEMPLOYED) 18 May 2010
"change his religion means he has left all his rights in his family & property." - wrong.
no law is there that, change of religion will deprive one, from his property or caste benifit. on the contray property is one's constitutional right. caste benifit given to one's caste bassis, not religion basis. religion is changeable not caste. i have seen several cases where caste benifit remains intact after change of religion. the party officially inform about his change of religion to his office, central govt - undertaking.
perhaps one supreme court rulling is also there in this effect. but i do not have it.

Her family is not ready yet. They don't get permission her to say anything. what can i do.
P.K.Haridasan (Advocate) 20 May 2010
Life is precious. Do not spoil it . Please wait and see. If your partner is much more fond of her caste and parents please let her allow to leave you and join them. If otherwise, marry her and lead a sober life and try to become a standing example for others. Do not haste. Hindrance in love and solving them is praised as beauty of love.
Arup (UNEMPLOYED) 22 May 2010
I support mr haridasan's advice. please follow.

hi, i have a question in this case..
if mom belongs to backward caste and dad belongs to schedule caste means..is there any rights that child has to change its caste after an particular age...like a child can choose its citizenship after an particular age if mom and dad belongs to two different countries..
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate) 16 March 2012
Mr Cherub you hve no option of coice. Your caste stauts will be that of your father.
Shantanu Wavhal (Worker) 16 March 2012
caste does not make a person good / bad.
caste is decided by birth.
intercaste marriages are promoted by govt. itself.
