Hi Tony, Many, many thanks for further clarification on so many issues relating to East African Goans, and in particular, the obscenity (my choice of word) of Christian Goans, still believing in caste, without even a fragmentary shred of genealogical and other scientific evidence for it. The paradox is that these very caste believers/practioners complain about white, black, yellow and other racisms but are too stupid or ignorant to recognize that casteism is racism in terms of the core elements of which these reified social constructs are constituted. Most curiously, I never get a retort to my strongly asserted position, as above, from Christian Goan casteists who are committed to caste ideologically and/or in practice. I therefore ask if this is too big a challenge for today's Christian Goan casteists? Is it too impolite/insensitive or politically incorrect to raise such an issue? Or has the ghost of caste now given up? Or, even more, is it, fortunately, a chimera or illusion in this day and age, in the Western Goan Diaspora while it still festers and oozes pus like an unhealing sore in parts of Goa?
