unfortunately for you, height is based on genetics, so unless you have some really tall grandparents, you probably wont get any taller. since youre still young, its possible that you grow a few more inches but i doubt you'll get over 5'6. sorry kid, embrace being short cause you cant really change it.

Well, you still have a few more years to grow vertically, then you will start growing horizontally. But since both of your parents were not that tall, you would probably be no taller than your Dad unless there was an ancestor that was taller and that gene skipped a generation and is now yours.
As for you being Indian, that has nothing to do with your height except that, statistically, most Indians are not that tall compared to western nations.
As for increasing your height, just eat as much protein and vitamins as you can and build up your muscles -- which will make you "look" taller.
Don't get discouraged about your height -- it's natural at 15 as you want the girls to like you. You will encounter girls that pass on you because of your lack of stature but consider it their loss as they are so shallow as to insist upon a guy that is a foot taller than them.
Later in life, height really doesn't become so much an issue as long as you are diligent in your work and an outgoing person with others. Women will find you attractive if you are intelligent, have a good sense of humor, and not sensitive about your lack of height.
Abe Lincoln was once asked how tall he was and he answered, "My legs reach the ground, sir."

Give it a couple years, you should have more growing to do. Then just find a gf that's shorter than you and your set.
