Thinking of embracing Islam as a Hindu – need guidance and support

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. I'm a college student from a Hindu background, and I've been seriously considering converting to Islam. I'd really appreciate your help and advice. What drew me in: * I saw online that Islam doesn't have a caste system (I'm from a scheduled caste, so this hit home), there's no dowry, and if a marriage isn't working, divorce is allowed without stigma. * I started reading more and was just amazed by the beauty of the teachings. * The idea of praying only to the Creator, who can never be defeated, really struck me. In some stories I grew up with, even deities could be overpowered, and that always confused me. * I also wondered how someone who gambled his wife could still go to heaven in those narratives. * For my future kids, Islam seems like the best moral framework: no alcohol, no smoking, no gambling. * In my own family and community, I've seen caste discrimination against SCs, and women going through dowry harassment while others just accept it. It breaks my heart. My situation: I still depend on my family, so I can't openly convert right now. I'll have to wait until I'm independent. But I worry about the sins I've committed so far, and about whether born Muslims will truly accept a revert like me. I've heard that sometimes even born Muslims from Asia are looked down upon by Arabs. That hurts, but it won't stop me-I'm committed to converting, insha'Allah. Also, is there any du'a or good deed I can do to help my family avoid the Fire, even if they don't believe? My earlier post got removed for mentioning my age, so I'm trying again. Jazakallahu khairan for reading.
