You can't.  It's the users browser, not yours.

Thanks!

Is there any another way??

My requirement is, once i clicks the browser back button my site 
*redirect
to home page*.

Please advice!

The saying "it's more trouble than it's worth" is particularly fitting
in this situation.

If there is a way, this is not the forum to ask :)

Ashok,

You can disable the browser back button with the help
of JavaScript snippets:

I don't think so. This is in the FAQ in comp.lang.javascript, and the
answer is that it can't be done.

NO NO NO! 100 TIMES NO!

The back button is so fundamental to the experience of using a browser, 
that if your design needs it to be disabled, then your design is broken. 
Period. End of discussion.

navigation.

A better question is, why does this need to happen? There's a good 
chance
that the need for this sort of behavior reflects a design smell 
someplace
else - for instance, trying to maintain session state in the URL or 
similar.
