Bhamonponn on the decline... Thanks very much Cornel...really appreciated your mail. I am glad you will go to my home town Margao very soon...well will give you an exact update...and you will be surprised there are some shuddh bamons that even write on this forum.
My dad was from margao and mum from curtorim...while growing up, we children used to spend a lot of our time in curtorim and school and college was in margao. You will be shocked i had seen in those days how children of a better father were treated at my school at loyola...and to add insult to injury to the children of lesser fathers...some of the priests during our times did abet the favouritism that went on. I know this mail will trigger a lot of interest from various sections...but i also pray those who felt the way i did n observed, although then many may not have got the whole big picture. But Margao was a perfect place for caste differentiation, both among the hindus and the catholics. Will write to you soon on your email id. as i do not wish to say or disclose more here, but just as you inquired, you will get to know. Yeah! finally and after all the bouts of ..............i had with the moderators and good old Bosco in Canada....im enjoying Goa net and some...not all the posts that relate in freeing Goa from the state of seige that it is under at the moment. Goa and goans are meant for better things in life and the current state of Goa is not acceptable at all...so lets join hands on this forum to fight for our Goa...unitedly! Enjoy your trip in Margao and also try to do a via in Dubai...rest assured will ensure you have a good time out here! Regards Cedric da Costa Dubai Hi Cedrico I was glad to hear from you that you believe that the caste system is in decline in Goa. Hopefully, it will become obsolete as soon as possible. I think I can accept Agnelo's view that there are more urgent priorities facing Goa right now with so much structural change taking place fairly rapidly. However, constantly pricking the caste balloon is also important not only to demolish those Margao Brahmins you referred to but also to empower the non Brahmins so as to to take on the Brahmins at every opportunity regarding their caste racism. I hope to visit Margao sometime reasonably soon and would appreciate a little info as to exactly where these Bamons are supposedly holed up and located geographically and how in your view, "Brahminism prevails". For me, just driving around to observe their increasingly decadent surroundings would be of considerable interest. I happen to be in London and I know you are in Dubai. I have enjoyed your material on football and other matters in the Gulf. Kind regards Cornel cedrico dacosta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dear Agnelo, Much has been going on these days and long discussions about the church, caste system etc in Goa. Well initially we are given to understand the divide began at the church committees itself, mostly called the confrarias. many bramin priests, or some who thought they were bramins promoted this bramins first policy. Ask me, in Margao...till date such braminism prevails. ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2007 13:42:37 -0400 From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] do you like classical music?

To: "Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994!" <goanet@lists.goanet.org> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Ana, I am so surprised to read your post. Around which areas in Goa (or anywhere else in the whole wide world) are these churches you say are infested with maggots breeding and which (Catholic) Priests with fat bank accounts, and who is full of sex lust? A damning statement, but where is the proof? What you have said so far could easily be mistaken for one of the corrupt politicians house(s). Or worse someone you KNOW has made you blurt this out, because you KNOW something, but cannot tell it on this forum. If I am right, just email us individually and NAME the person you KNOW. That way, you have done a confession, been forgiven for attempting to accuse unjustly and been pardoned, all without having to resort to one of God's messengers whom you feel uncomfortable to be near anyway. I am assuming you are a Catholic and that you have an axe to grind (or plant) somewhere where it will do most good. I am afraid it has not done any good here, because you associated yourself with Albert who is well known for his rantings and accusations, false ones (never brought any proof to the table about anything he has posted here in all the (short) time I have been posting on this forum. Please Ana, you are made of better stuff than that. Let it go, but if you cannot, then bring something to the table that we can get our teeth into, not a reason for someone to knock them out! Write MORE not LESS, you are worth MORE than the people you accuse, just bring it to the table and show us the proof. We want to believe you and I am sure you want us to belive you? Kind regards John Monteiro 27.10.07 19.32 hrs PS I hope everyone remembers (in the UK) to put your clocks BACK one hour, we are to gain an extra hour's sleep tonight. But as usual this post will appear several days from now I guess, so its academic really. -------------------------------- Agnelo Gomes is not any authority to condemn any one. He is presumed to be a lay person just like Albert and me........ the fact is the church is infected with maggots which breed on money greed and sex lust. There are priest who have big fat bank accounts........I being a girl know the talk and behavior of many priests and the less I write better it is.

I feel Parrikar needs to be given a chance to form govt with full majority. I had a chat with Parrikar over the phone when he was trying to form the govt taking support from Babush. He said he was constrained by the current state of poiltics and had no choice but to form govt if Goa were to be saved from land sharks, corruption and bankrupcy. He said it would be ideal for Goa if every politician was non-corrupt and dedicated for Goan's well being, but the reality was far from this and hence he had to live with such constraints. He would himself follow his ethics even if he were to side with Babush. He explained this to me for about 20 min without having met/known me. After I had this talk, I fully understood his determination and the reason behind him making a U-turn. It is true that he had a centralized administrative style. But that is what is required while dealing with govt servant babus. A near impossible feat like IFFI 2004 could never have been achieved had he delegated work and expected it to get done somehow. IFFI is an investment. The cost that everyone complains about will be recovered in the years to come by way of tourism and fame.

Critics of parrikar will find 100 ways of pointing out his faults but what is the choice we have? maybe parrikar is not ideal but relative to the others that we have he is the best regards B __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
