No. Your caste cannot be changed. The caste of the father is valid.
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 21 October 2020
agreed.

It is patriarchal society, hence you will remain in "general" category.

Except in circumstances where the child has been brought up in the household and the community of the mother, the child belongs to the community of the father.

Anyhow, a marriage ought to be a matter of your choice. It is prudence to take the prospective bridegroom of the sensitive aspect of intercaste marriage of your parents.

1. Nothing including your Caste can "EVER" change under any circumstances, whatsoever.... , EVEN IF you disclose your Parents inter-caste status to your proposed Husband and neither there can be any social stigma or whatever.... in the same.

2. IF caste could be legally changed, THEN majority of Indian Citizens would change to ST and avail the scores of freebies /subsidies /free land /free housing and what nots .... at the aggregate costs of prudent tax payer citizens.

Caste is as per caste of father.

It is your option whether to tell your to be husband about inter caste marriage of your parents or not?

However, in such a relation fact should be disclosed.
