Hi Eric,
I note your point. By now, believe you me, I really am keen to get off the
caste debate on Goanet, except, if intellectually challenged or provoked.
There is absolutely no pain for you to feel about. For me, it is about
justified unease about the obscenity and effect of caste among the Catholic
Goans!
Regards,
Cornel

I feel your pain, don't get me wrong, but this whole
thing is a drag, you do make sense most of the times,
but how far does this near Quixotic quest for
vindication go, or is it really flagellation: i want
to believe otherwise. eric.

Hi Jose,
I note that you passionately extolled the virtues of
Dr. Willy de Souza as a
surgeon and as your former academic/professional
teacher. You seemed utterly
intrigued and disappointed that such a 'learned' man
could give up a
lucrative medical professional career in the USA for
engagement in political
life in Goa. However, I recall a Goanet post
indicating that the said Dr
Willy believed strongly in caste, even though also
professing to be a
staunch Catholic and acting as an adviser to the
Catholic Church at a recent
Bishops' Conference. Therefore, the answer to your
query is quite simple to
my very humble logic. Had he gone abroad, the man
would not have been able
to swirl within the insidiousness of caste practice
which is so plentifully
available in Goa. Now combine this with caste ridden
politics in Goa, about
which so much has appeared on Goanet, as well as,
the accommodation of caste
by the Catholic Church in Goa, and surely, you have
the perfect heady triple
mixture of caste, Goan politics, and Catholicism.
Surely, the man simply
could not be, utterly, more at home in Goa than
anywhere else! Also, as an
aside, do remember Margaret Thatcher's advisory
political 'dictum' that
"everybody needs a willy sometime!"
