Hi
You can obtain the copies of birth certificate of the children from municipality or obtain a family member certificate from Mandal Revenue office and produce the same in school to prove the hindu identity and surname of the child.
The biological father cannot deny the identity rights of the children as it is against the law.
Also you can provide the religious conversion certificate from nearby imam to prove that the children and their mother have converted to islam.
