Kal ka Ramu will always remain a RAMU, money does not
equate education and/or culture. A Brahmin Pandit
will teach his son to do the rituals, therefore
RAMLALS will remain RAMLALS, no matter what. RAMU will
never be able to do what RAMLAL does, but a RAMLAL can
do what RAMU does, so the Caste system RULES.

Some of us want to CHANGE THE RULES, because they are
simply WRONG.

We want RAMU to be able to do whatever RAMLAL does.

It has nothing to do with MONEY.

The Catholics have done away with the Caste system (so
they say) because the people in white robes could be
educated from any caste, to don the robe. Fair enough,
men in white robes can be of any caste, that does not
mean the people in white robes can change Indian
culture wearing the ITALIAN Religion's Robes.

If Catholics had done away with the caste system there
would be no need for this discussion. Not too long
ago there were many Goans who were unable to wear the
white robes of the ITALIAN religion in Goa, though any
ITALIAN could do so in Italy.

Once again, we are not asking for help from anyone in
a white robe, or a black robe for that matter, since
many of them makes excuses for the caste system among
Goan Catholics.

We want each Goan and each family to abolish caste
from their personal decision-making. Thus there will
be progress, one Goan and one family at a time.
Eventually, there will only be RAMLALS, if you know
what I mean.

People in white robes in Vatican cannot change the
culture in India, the Indians have to do it
themselves. If an Indian has qualms about RAMU making
himself RAMLAL out of ill-gotten gains and illiterate
unscrupulous behaviour, Ramu WILL always remain Ramu
in their eyes.

No, no, no! We don't want any ill-gotten gains and
illiterate unscrupulous behavior involved in making
RAMU into RAMLAL. We want that to happen in people's
hearts and minds.

I hope you will join us. Tell all your friends.
