Dear Goans Everywhere,
I am fed up of reading messages since the last TEN YEARS over this business
of Caste among Goan Christians ---
Being a CHRISTIAN automatically means that we believe that all men (and
women) are equal -- there is no such thing as being born
into different castes -- you are born a HUMAN BEING.
If any so-called "Christian" believes in Castes -- Brahmin, Chadda, Sudra,
etc --
then HE IS NO CHRISTIAN.
So I think we should all agree that since there are no Castes among Christians
this wasteful correspondence should CEASE.
Also I find that now we seem to be bringing in differences between Goans,
Mangaloreans, East Indians, Anglo Indians -- all
supposedly Christians -- what about the off-shoots? The MAN-GOs, EI-GOs, AI-
GOs, etc, etc -- Are we going to create different
niches for all of these???
I personally feel that this group should try to promote any one of our group
to achieve his/her full stature -- remember Our
Lord's parable " Ten Talents, Five Talents and One Talent" -- most of us
Christians are like the guy with ONE TALENT -- He
buried it and did no good either to himself or to any other -- I like the
statement:
"When you were born you were crying and all around you were smiling !!
Live your life so that when you die, you (in your coffin) will be smiling
and all around you will be crying."
Life is TOOOOO SHORT to waste on frivolous discussions which contribute
nothing to the well being of OUR COMMUNITY -- Let's
pull ourselves up so that our Community can produce a better and more
successful (in the true sense) next generation.
Thanks
Aloysius
