Hi Aubrey, Please refer to the link to news clipping of the article below from the Mumbai Mirror.
It appears that the East Indian community of Western India has been awarded the OBC (Other Backward Caste) Status in India. This will make you guys eligible for quotas in Government jobs and reserved seats in institutions of higher education. All Stanislites past and esp the present should know of this development and make full use of the opportunity. We need to get more Stanislites into and graduate from the IITs, medical schools, etc. Please publicize this development. http://www.east-indians.com/obc.htm http://www.east-indians.com/News_clippings/east_ind_obc.gif Here is yet another opportunity for you guys to go for the low hanging fruit (or mangoes) and we Goans, Mangies, etc. will have to slog to climb higher to get those few mangoes on the tallest branches. How is your drive to get ABO (Aboriginal) Status in Australia coming along ? Please advise Best Regards, Dr. Carmo D'Cruz Stanislite, Class of 75 Indian Harbour Beach, Florida _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
