Roland,
Im afraid you have got it a bit wrong. The goans in the Armed Forces
did not need any parsi to assist in their promotions! I can assure you
that those who reached higher ranks, did so on their own merits.
Nothing to do with Parsis whatsoever.
I cannot however vouch for the other central govt. services.
regards, Gilbert Menezes

The Goan people in Bombay had the strongest bond with the Parsis, among all
other Indian communities.
all the way up or down. The Taj Hotel, the Central Bank of India, Tata Sons
and all their holding companies and many more come to mind. In the
professions, eminent Parsi surgeons and Parsi barristers nurtured Goan doctors
and Goan solicitors. In the senior reaches of Government and the Armed Forces
it was Parsi ICS and IAS officers, judges and Field and Air Marshals and Sea
Admirals who made it possible for Goans to reach their own zenith.
