You also feel that one cannot be Christian and practice the caste system, and so do I. The caste system was jettisoned by my fore parents. I had no exposer to it until I read about it on Goanet. The more I read about the caste system, the easier it comes for me to understand how easily a person can be deluded into caste, superstitious, mythology and religious believes. Mervyn
