Legal Question in Family Law in India

I (male) am 21 and afraid to take even a single without my parents consent. I'm suffering slavery in my own house. I don't have freedom of speech in my house because of which I can't make them understand my situation. I feel like a POW in my house. My parents are very abusive , adamant and rude and think that whatever they do or say is always right; rest everything or everyone else is wrong. They are very manipulative and change their statements like changing weather. They talk like shameless fellows and do not learn from their mistakes. I'm being bullied by them. They are partial too towards my younger brother. I have no existence in the house. Their problems=my problems but not the vice versa; this is the principle of the house. My mother uses me as an instrument to vent her anger, to share their joys and sorrows but won't care for my emotions. I've virtually become a dustbin. They use me as an instrument so that my scoring high marks in exams would make them feel proud in front of their friends and relatives. If I do not do so, they would leave me in the lurch. They won't talk politely to me but would expect me to talk politely to them; else I would face blackmailing, scoldings, hittings, etc. Insults are my mother's way of keeping people at bay; hence I've been robbed of my sense of self-respect long ago. My mother devotes all her time (which she cannot manage) to her private tuitions (her pastime), her pet cats or household chores (mainly cooking). Even if she would get 25 hr a day, she wouldn't have time for the family and my father has 3 wives- my mother, the TV and the newspaper. He's a very dumb, blind and blunt fellow. My parents' marriage was a very unhappy one (only as my mother didn't like my father). My mother once secretly confided in me that after marriage she wished her husband to be dead. Yet, they complement each other. Me and my brother always say that they're made for each other. They're egoistic, unscrupulous creatures, do not have humility at all and cannot accept defeat. They treat me like some Tom, Dick or Harry visible everyday on the roads; I'm not special for my parents. I do not love my parents at all; rather I sometimes feel like murdering them in the most brutal ways possible. They seem to be like street dogs fighting for a piece of bread. The only thing that has kept me tied to them till date is their (scanty) money. This is eastern culture and this particular country; hence these limitations. I really cannot justify my birth in this family nor in such a kind of a country. What I've done in the past 21 years is just to eat and sleep, sleep to forget and never wake up. I feel hollow but heavy from the inside. I'm heartbroken (as they've betrayed my trust) and very artificial. I call myself poorer than the poorest beggar on earth. I feel like a raped girl, running naked on the field and everywhere men are running to grope me. I even attempted suicide in Dec 2011 and that has seemed to be the only option to this problem for me till date. I've taken my life for granted. I have no life of myself and virtually live other's lives; it's as if I do things to please others. This is just the tip of the iceberg, though. My life is replete with long stories and would take a hell lot of time to explain them all. I'm thinking of contacting INTERPOL (but making an international call is too hard for me) as the police force of my country has a very lackadaisical attitude and is very corrupt; hence I haven't sought for help in my own country (doing this would have created a drama without substantial results). Please do not ask me to seek refuge in friends or members of my extended family as they are all the same; they are of no use at all. All this is creating a problem as all these years I've felt like an island in the vast expanse of the world. I'm in 2nd year of college but couldn't clear a single subject of the 1st year and it's unclear now whether I belong to the 1st year or the 2nd year. Hence I'm unsure whether to live or to die
