Lastly, if you need to know what prompted Goans to migrate to E. Africa and
other places, why don`t you directly ask the people you are interviewing. I
would love to hear this question i.e. What is your caste and why did it make
you migrate from Goa.
Response:
In other words you want me to study caste and its implications. Somehow you
want me to study casta without mentioning casta. Also just by mentioning it,
you automatically want to assure everyone that I am an apologist for it. And
yet you want me to pose it as a question and your question also presupposes an
answer in that it made people emigrate. So if it made Catholics emigrate, we
can safely assume that it exists among Catholics.
You are right. All this doesn't make sense to me. Then again nothing you write
ever makes sense to me but please do keep writing because there so few
humourous posts on goanet these days.
Best,
