As per prevailing social norm your son falls in category of dalit for the reason that son is known by his father's caste and generally adopts father's surname.Your query is governed by prevailing custom and norms of the society.There is no law on this point and there is no illegality if your son adopts your surname i.e. Rajput.

Re: child's surname

The law confers certain benefits like reservations for government jobs and benefits available to dalits. By law nobody is a dalit. You can choose to write Rajput as a surname for your child. Even by writing Rajput, he will remain entitled to all the benefits available to 'dalits' on the basis of 'caste' certificate to be obtained from the authorities on the basis of his father's caste. If you do not want the benefits of belonging to 'dalit' caste, it is your choice. You may continue belonging to 'rajput' caste and there is no prohibition in law for that.

Re: child's surname

Irrespective of surname,your son will have the cast of his father and he will be a Dalit.Your son will not legally be called a Rajput.
