Hello Santosh, Thanks for posting my message. I must have fogotten to delete the footer. Here goes.

Veronica know from personal experience that Krishna Menon invaded Goa because he wanted to provide employment for unemployed "Malyalis"? VP. My note above to A. Veronica was to exhort him, though in gentle terms to answer exactly the questiom that you have posed to me. Hopefully we will both have our answer. SH. Does personal experience with some number of "Malyalis" justify stereotyping all "Malyalis"? VP. Needless to say, but since you ask-it absolutely does not justify typecasting all �Malyalis� (Keralites) or for that matter any grouping for the personal experiences one might have encountered while interacting with a few of any said group. SH. What do you mean by "the other label of bigotry would not apply since it is the "unreasoned attachement" to ones beliefs"? Do you think these beliefs are supported by reason? Can they be justified? VP. Bigotry as I understand, is when one maintains beliefs or notions devoid of reason, but a stubborn singular-mided and intolerant desire to propound, and propogate those beliefs. These opinions are usually rooted in notions of class, race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality. What I am saying here to A. Veronica is simply that if he could express himself clearly and truthfully then he would have answered to your message wherby he has come across as indulging in "innuendo, distortion and fabrication". All three of those labels together express �bigotry�. Hopefully, this time around I am coming across a bit more cogently.
