------------------------------------------------------------------------ Remembering Aquino Braganca (b. 6 April 1924), who fought for freedom of the former Portuguese colonies in Africa. An online tribute http://aquinobraganca.wordpress.com/ (includes many historical references, some photographs and documents)
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please provide text by Gandhi refuting what two Christians have said--Antonio Menezes and me. Do please provide. I would appreciate knowing what Gandhi said. I am willing to be proved wrong and regard my "What knowledge?" as faulty. Its is also very interesting to hear you say, "Once again, I see some Christians trying to deflect attention from racism in the Catholic Church, the subject of this thread, to some other person's alleged transgressions - as if two wrongs make a right, even if true." It is stupefying to be accused of deflecting "attention from racism in the Catholic Church." Are you for real that you accused me? Have you read what I have written in the past. Get a grip. And I have the ability to talk directly with the Church and do. But all this is only to help you see things and where people like me stand on certain issues--since this is a very base accusation. Help us here. Just provide what Gandhi said. His words. Not some excerpt not written by Gandhi himself. venantius From: Mario Goveia <mgov...@sbcglobal.net> Subject: [Goanet] Racism in the Catholic Church . Mario asks: "To the best of my knowledge...?" What knowledge? Has Google and other search engines been shut down? Once again, I see some Christians trying to deflect attention from racism in the Catholic Church, the subject of this thread, to some other person's alleged transgressions - as if two wrongs make a right, even if true. BTW, the man from Porbander, regardless of how he came upon his epiphany, has been recognized around the world as a modern reincarnation of the proposition that "Everyone is created equal." for which he was eventually assassinated. These insinuations against Mohandas Gandhi are despicable, not to mention false.

The British, by permitting the Untouchables to be considered as a separate part of the Indian electorate, were, according to Gandhi, countenancing an injustice. Although he was himself a member of the Vaisya (merchant) caste, Gandhi was the great leader of the movement in India dedicated to eradicating the unjust social and economic aspects of the caste system.
