Yes the child can change his caste. As in case of intercaste marriages it is the choice of the child which caste he or she wants to adopt . he or she may either adopt father’s or mother’s. You can visit the local tehsildar office .he will guide you.

Hi The Children will by default adopt father's caste only. If you so wish, then the children can forego their BC claims and make a claim of being forward caste. For foregoing BC claim, there is no special procedure except to show that the kids were brought up in brahmin culture by adopting to brahmin rituals and ceremonies. You can also initiate the child in to brahminism by performing a sacred thread ceremony for the boy.
