Mogal Selma bhai,
Kitlem sobit post broita! Tuven boroilolem aum zaitem vaztam. I am so glad to
note that you - the Goa authority - are not hesitant in saying, "The practice
certainly does not exist anymore."
Should we ask Professor Cornel DaCosta ani Maurice D'Mello to write this very
definitive sentence 100 times? And it would not hurt for them to also write,
"Kunbis no longer wear the tradition dress and so I have no idea who is one."
This may help end their repeated efforts to tar the collective reputation of
present-day Goans and present-day Catholics with their sondanchem sweeping
over-generalizing strokes.
Kind Regards, GL

Dear Gilbert Irmao,
1. The practice certainly does not exist anymore. I have said so, by wondering
aloud who was the first Rosa Parks amongst our Kunbis.
2. I have not blamed anyone specifically infact I have put forward the
hypothesis that perhaps the Church was not directly responsible for such
segregation but rather just reflecting what existed in society at the time.
3. Kunbis no longer wear the tradition dress and so I have no idea who is one
and who is not and even if I could tell I could care less.
