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
