Mr. Dias, I am happy that you did not criticize me when I wrote about
corruption in the Customs. India is one of the most corrupt countries in the world
and one must refer to the international standings of countries that are corrupt.
Let us not take comfort in stating that India is less corrupt than Bangla
Desh or Nigeria. We ought to compare our performance with that of the least
corrupt which I think is Norway.
But I disagree with you that Catholics are less corrupt than the
others. There is no difference today in Goa and if you have confronted the Police,
Government bureaucracy and the Justice system, you will observe that Goan
Christians have no qualms to persecute the poor by demanding bribes. I see no
difference between Agnelo Fernandes, ex-Sarpanch of Candolim and Gobind Nagvenkar
or Sanjiv Naik in Salvador do Mundo. Those days are gone when we feared the
wrath of Goa and believed in the Ten Commandments.
Worse still, these people all make the bee-line to Church on Sundays.
Yes the hypocrites.
