Hello Cornel, The question regarding pros and cons of caste system was asked to find an in-depth awareness of the caste system. I don't know any pros about the caste system yet. So far nobody has pointed out any positive view about the caste system. The reason being is nobody like to be labeled as a casteist.
Without the "pros" the "cons" of the caste system seems weightless! You may pass your dispassionate or passionate judgment.

Nobody has challenged this view either, but I can provide informed references on this issue if necessary. Racism is rejected in all civilized societies and the Pope has emphasised this point repeatedly. Therefore, I can see all the 'cons' in caste and no 'pros' at all in today's society. However, if you or any other Catholic Goan can find some 'pros' and justify them, I'd be more than willing to suspend judgement and consider them dispassionately. I look forward to your reply, Regards, Cornel DaCosta, London
