Hello everyone in the physics forum,
I am a new family member here,
and I need your help :). If this is not the place the post needs to be I requests the Mod to shift to proper column.
Okay So I am from the milky way galaxy, to be more specific planet Earth and more specifically Republic of India(and I have lived 15 years as a human being in this universe) currently in eleventh standard having Physics, chemistry, math major. Now I have a great passion about Space science say as astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, Origin of our universe and also I love rocket flights and space expeditions. But here in India I do not think that there are any good colleges teaching Astronomy.
Can any of you, please guide me on this basis, how can I apply to Caltech or a good international college teaching astronomy, I searched on the internet but those are waaay too mixed up alll to understand. You must be experienced to help me
Something about me:
I had many career shifts like mood swings haha, at small age I wished to be an astronaut but that failed as I am just like space time singularity (coz I am too thin
) Well I am called by a lot of names... in the class 
Then when I expressed people around me to become an aerospace engg. people said engineers have no value today and they are jobless, I was again scared then I shifted to be a people's servant or Doctor, But I found no real passion in it then again I wished to be an aerospace engineer (when I came to know about Indian institute of technology-maybe amazing institutes
). Only except my mother and father, who always support me whatever I want to be, everyone revolted against my dreams. But now full and final I want to study either Astronomy or Cosmology(well a little more the main problem is in India only rote memorization works and subjects you don't want to study are forcefully taught to you, And i hate that as I love to feel science rather than solving BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG calculations involving Gravitaional constants without calculators). People start here a rat race called IIT-JEE or the exam which opens gate to IIT where there is no no no beauty. Hope you can understand
Thanks a Lot for your time
