Hi I strongly support Mario Goveia opinion about caste system in Goa It is a very deep conditioning ingrained in minds of some Goans. How superficial their thinking is I know how the caste system is so dominant in marriages. I have a experience of my cousin who married outside the caste and how badly she was treated even though the boy was highly educated and cultured.Also the Taunts Comments and Gossip which are passed when a couple does not get married according to a particular caste..Innocent children are subject to this discrimination I hope one day this social stigma will dissappear. And human"s will be judged according to what they are rather than their caste Even among highly educated Goans I really feel sorry they will pass comments about your caste It really makes me feel sorry and I feel so bad for these people . As they are so superficial One of the most imp principle in any religion is compassion and love. I some times wonder where it is gone in this 2004 Century. I feel we in Goa are still stuck in the 12 th Century and have not grown in this era of Science and Technologyand Research.If we are going to believe in all these man made system.I strongly advice all our Goan brothers and Sister to go in them selves do some meditation and do not allow this deep conditioning to come in the way of judging other Rather go in a open mind Recognise the person for their talents. Sincely Antonio
