Hi Cornel,
Welcome back into circulation. I am glad to see your computer has made a
recovery. Likely both it and you are rearing to go - only God knows where.:=))
Also with the summer break, many of you in academics may have a lot of
free-time on your hands.
To make your response on the Goan caste issue more logical and relevant, let me
try and be more helpful i.e. more blunt, than I was in my last posts. It
appears you did not get the hint. There may be more caste issues and other
"superiority complex / attitudes" among Goans in London and UK, especially
those who left Goa long time ago, than among Goans who grew up in Goa-Bombay
and rest of India. These latter Goans had ample opportunities to mingle, grow
and be educated with a wide-cross section of Goans and Indians. I am not
trying to disparage a broad section of the Goan community in the UK. Yet
perhaps this may be the major reason for the bee-in-your-bonnet, given your
limited interaction of down to earth Goans. Those who seek to condemn me for
making this suggestion, should really be directing their posts and ire at you.
They should explain YOUR problem of Goan caste in England in general and London
in particular.
BTW, in case you have missed it, many Goanetters in addition to me, have
written posts, condemning Catholic posters who sermonize and "beat their
chests" about caste among today's Goan Catholics. Most Goans who talk about
other people's caste, use the issue to hide their own ignorance and poor
upbringing.
More recently, again in case you missed it, Bhandare tirade about Goan
Catholics condemning Manu, was a direct response to posts like YOURS about
Indian caste. Perhaps this link may appear in your "international paper".
(saiba bogos:=)). Yet I did not see you respond to Bhandare.
So I look forward to your post about Goan caste. Pray, do not play the same
rebbec and repeat what you have said before.:=))
Kind Regards, GL
