A.It is not feasible to claim the caste of your single mother as per the law. Once a woman gets married to a man and their children would belong to the caste and religion to which their father belongs to. However, If there is a genuine reason to change your caste to your mother's caste than legal courses are available through affidavits duly sworn and registered before the Metropolitan Magistrate. Genuine reason means - if your father has abandoned or deserted you and your mother or is absconding from police or is a criminal with whom you do not want your name and caste to be attached and things like that. If the intentions are not genuine and you want to do it just to get a benefit in getting a Govt appointment then going through this cumbersome procedure is not advisable as the complaint redressal mechanism in Govt is becoming more and more affordable and transparent day by day for the complainant and there are harsh punishments when the truth is revealed. So before going for such things, one has to consider the pros and cons of the consequences involved in the matter.
