Hi Cedrico
I was glad to hear from you that you believe that the caste system is in
decline in Goa. Hopefully, it will become obsolete as soon as possible. I think
I can accept Agnelo's view that there are more urgent priorities facing Goa
right now with so much structural change taking place fairly rapidly. However,
constantly pricking the caste balloon is also important not only to demolish
those Margao Brahmins you referred to but also to empower the non Brahmins so
as to to take on the Brahmins at every opportunity regarding their caste
racism.
I hope to visit Margao sometime reasonably soon and would appreciate a little
info as to exactly where these Bamons are supposedly holed up and located
geographically and how in your view, "Brahminism prevails". For me, just
driving around to observe their increasingly decadent surroundings would be of
considerable interest.
I happen to be in London and I know you are in Dubai. I have enjoyed your
material on football and other matters in the Gulf.
Kind regards
Cornel

Dear Agnelo,
Much has been going on these days and long discussions about the church, caste
system etc in Goa.
Well initially we are given to understand the divide began at the church
committees itself, mostly called the confrarias.
many bramin priests, or some who thought they were bramins promoted this
bramins first policy.
Ask me, in Margao...till date such braminism prevails.
