It has been 4 days since the posting of the Open Letter which I among many others had signed, on how discrimination is practiced at Goa University and the response to this article on Goanet has been overwhelming: Silence! Deafening silence!! No denial! No contest! Nothing!!! Just silence! Deafening silence!! Why are all the 'stalwarts' of Goanet so silent of this subject? Does anyone realize what it means when 90 % of Goa University's faculty are drawn from what is the top 10% of its population. (By Goa's population I refer to those Goans who stay here now irrespective of when or where they migrated here) Why is it that Goaneters who are alleged to be so interested about matters in Goa so silent about the rights of clearly over the 70% of Goans? Does caste and class become an issue for these alleged lovers of Goa only when perpetuating the wars of privileges between rich Bamon and rich Chardo and rich Saraswat and rich Migrant who form the base of Goanet? Otherwise is it that all these people close ranks and cover each others backs and pretend they don't know who are the underprivileged of Goa. BTW just in case someone wants to know who are the backward classes of Goa, please refer to http://ncbc.nic.in/User_Panel/GazetteResolution.aspx?fTGCA30hFdm5%2fM1j <http://ncbc.nic.in/User_Panel/GazetteResolution.aspx?Value=mPICjsL1aLv%2bpzkDbfVwy7KkMoLIvvac5O%2fiE%2fRfizHDpmIQ%2fTGCA30hFdm5%2fM1j> To find out about SC and ST just navigate to the links provided here.
