DIBASH GURUNG   01 March 2023

Want to change title

Hello Dears, I want to change my title from Gurung to Chetri but all my documents have Gurung title where my original title is Chetri but due to my father's fault he started writing Gurung. But I'm disappointed and still using Gurung which is not my parents' title. So pls suggest me whether I can change my title or not? 

If yes then according to which law and how to do and what are legal procedures?

And If NO then why No? 

Don't we have the democratic way to chose our forefathers title ?

Plz help me.
