I think that Victor Rangel-Ribeiro should reread the article by George Menezes
properly, and he will find the answers to his three questions.
First, he asks: "Is there really a physical wall that in some Goan Christian
cemeteries separates Christian Dalit dead from non-Dalits?" The physical wall
is mentioned in the article by George, and he talks about a diocese in Southern
India. He does not mention the place, nor have I said that I know of any place
in Goa where the problem exists.
Second, he asks, "And are there Christian churches in Goa where the back
benches are reserved for Dalits, who are not allowed to sit elsewhere?" Here
again, the answser is similar to above.
Thrid, he asks, "Thirdly, can you tell me how I can recognize a Dalit?" This is
a point that is not related to the article. However, it is a pertinent
question, since I myself canot recognise between a dalit and a non-dalit.
Perhaps we can ask George, if he is on this forum, to enlighten us.
