controversy. Got it off another mailgroup, don't know who the

Without getting into this debate between Miguel and Sandesh, some points
do need to be made.
Sandesh's secular credentials are undoubted, his track record speaks for
itself, and all who know him would agree with this.
That said, giving a regular weekly column to Subhash Velingkar is
scandalous.
Unless we act soon and present a united front against communal forces,
we seem to be heading towards becoming another Gujarat

Dear Cecil,
Most of us (this covers Goanet as well) personally have no caste
feelings, and do not discriminate between people on basis of religion,
caste, etc. Naturally, we are perplexed as to what everybody is going on

Teotonio's request may strike many as peculiar, but is not off the

views on caste are determined by her/his caste), caste background can be
an important ingredient of how one relates to the issue of caste.
