Hi Bernado,
I am staggered you remembered me! I take it that you want more articles
about caste but even I need a break from this theme from time to time! My
last post on caste was when I took a Goan guy on who said that, he was a
brahmin and "high born." Can you beat such utter absurdity in this day and
age? I hoped he would continue to respond but friends of mine here (UK) were
certain that there would be no response because of the thorough demolition
job I did on him.
There was a very brief point on caste, among Catholic Goans in Goa, that I
made in my discussion on the the recent racial upheaval in Australia. I had
also hoped that, I would get a response from the caste accommodating
Catholic Church, via the two spokespersons/priests who man a website for
the Archbishop. However, they seemed to have taken fright and been
absolutely non communicative. I wonder why?
Now that you ask, it is not too cold here although we had some unusal snow
in SE England. Fortunately, we have been able to keep heating on throughout
the day as the Social Services here are quite generous to us poor folk.
I have been busy on other things, travelled a great deal, ( in one instance,
to Taiwan, not too far from your Macao), done some book reviews, and wrote
endless posts on the Iraq war on several sites.
Keep in touch and thanks for remembering me.
Cornel

"In fact," Mr Sudarshan said, "the rampant racism
prevalent in
America, especially in states like New Orleans, has
exposed the
futility of the religious equality professed by
Catholicism."
What happened to the caste system? No problem? Cornel
hides in his fleece, to cold to write?
