Cornel said: Hi Joe Ever so well said. Also, it strikes me as rather stupid for the original author to have a subject title like "Chardi Behaviour nothing to do with caste." By definition, Chardi represents caste, irrespective of whether good or bad deeds are then illustrated. Cornel DaCosta JoeGoaUk: The incident (serving different dishes to different people at the same time) did not take place half a century ago (as claimed by you). Fyi, not evenquarter of a century ago. And no, the higher class people at the ?Ladin? did not come from a distant, 80% came from within the same radius as us and the remaining within 1.5 km radius. People irrespective of their caste, need to grow up.e.g. guirimboy, may need to grow up into a guirimman. === Hi, It is the people with blinkers who have to grow up and look at the wider picture instead of cowling under 'We are the victim syndrome'. Stop advertisning your low caste status, is what I'm saying, I'm Chardi or Bamon or whatever is immaterial.
Joegoa's mum told him not to sing for his piece of cake. My mum told me I was not invited for dinner. I was also told that only relatives and those whose kids were fed get fed. This is what I call Class upbringing by my parents. Those who did not get this type of excellent upbringing blame the Chardi's and the Caste System in Goa for their NON LET-FET status. Those who have NOT GROWN UP IN GOA but are trouble mongers, are the biggest culprits of Inferiority Complex. (refused a Bamon girl's hand in marriage? - OHH what a shame! - innit - good they did refuse, if not she would have married a moron). How low and demeaning can one get? - Joegoa! (using pseudonym on Goanet - not his proper name) said I'm a poor Chardi who ate 2 pieces of meat at monte guirim. I CALL THIS LOW CASTE (self declared) PEOPLES JEALOUSY. In fact ALL Monte Guirim boarders had whatever I had - except 2 percent. MY QUESTION WAS: Were these privileged boys of Higher Caste, to be eating special food away from us or 'Money talks' boasters. In Goa, if there is a separation, it is purely based on upbringing. Like some one once said, in Mombasa there was no Caste but tailors were not admitted in the Goan Clerks Club. Is there a Dorjee Caste too? My Aunt in Goa was a Dorjee. Chardi people did not do Tailoring in Mombase? Now, after this altercation will I freely dispense my thoughts with joegoa? Does his education match mine? - is the question I will ask first and keep my distance - NOT CASTE. He has already defined me as Chardi - what makes a chardi? (who, what, why, when) ED.
