COMMENT: a: I trust that Selma is NOT asking about those who claim to have converted to Catholicism. b: IF so, the total number for the whole of Salcete and Goa should be ZERO. c: This nonsense aka the Caste System is an Apartheid discriminatory relic from the pre-conversion days. d: It has done enough of havoc in East Africa (inter alia, pl read Ben Antao's The tailor's daughter). e: It created significant problems within the precincts of the Catholic Church in Goa. f: It shamefully continues to create awful problems among allegedly-Catholic families at the time of marriages. g: Why, pray, propagate (albeit inadvertently) this horrible racist institution in 2012, especially wrt those who have an opportunity to get rid of the blot of the original Apartheid discrimination from their inheritance? [The glorified revision of the Caste System having been noted] h: Please find another topic to research. http://www.colaco.net/1/caste.htm Sincerely jc sub Harijan Kunbi or lower (if there is such a classification)
