Jai Jinendra.

Answer

Your wish to follow Jain Dharma sincerely is spiritually meaningful. In Jainism, true acceptance of Dharma depends on your faith, conduct, humility, non-violence, and inner transformation — not on caste.

However, changing your state only because of legal permission issues is a serious decision. It may be legally complicated and personally stressful. It is better to proceed carefully, peacefully, and with proper guidance.

Explanation

In Jain Dharma:

• Every soul is equal in its pure nature.
• Caste does not determine spiritual worth.
• Right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct are the path of liberation.
• No sincere seeker should be discouraged from learning and practicing Jain principles.

If some Sangh office-bearers are not cooperating, that is a social or administrative issue, not a rejection by Jain Dharma itself.

Before shifting to another state, you may consider:

• Speak respectfully with senior Jain monks, nuns, scholars, or respected elders.
• Approach another Jain Sangh or Jain institution with humility and clarity.
• Keep written records of your sincere efforts.
• Do not act in anger or disappointment.
• Consult a qualified legal advisor about the law and procedure.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma teaches samata — equality of souls. A person becomes close to Dharma by practicing:

• Ahimsa — non-violence
• Satya — truthfulness
• Achaurya — non-stealing
• Brahmacharya — purity and self-restraint
• Aparigraha — non-attachment

Even before any formal legal or social process, you can begin living as a Jain by practicing compassion, vegetarianism, truthfulness, self-control, prayer, and study.

Takeaway

Shifting to Telangana may or may not help legally, so do not decide in haste. From the Jain point of view, caste is not a barrier to sincere spiritual progress. Proceed peacefully, take guidance from knowledgeable Jain elders, and also consult a legal expert before taking any step.
