Moreover, they were not expected to cross the seas but large numbers did even before it was possible to fly and not technically cross the seas on water! I repeat that, all this Brahmin thing is plain humbug. Ans: If priestly function is not confined to Brahmins why don't they (the Hindus) during Ganesh pooja hire a Kshatriya to do the Chants? May be humbug these days. If so why not get rid of God alltogether? That way the Brahmins can do the Barbers and Butchers jobs, and Gaitonde can be a mochee, but first get rid if god. (Therefore I think religion is foremost in caste system (after all it was started by the brahmin priestly sect in the first place to put themselves on the top)). Cornel: Religion is not foremost in the caste system. Ans: If not who said ONLY Brahmins should do Ganesh pooja chants? did the Dalit say that or the temple Brahmins! Cornel:This is why a supposed Catholic Brahmin Goan of either sex has a great problem from his parents/relatives when wanting to marry a non Brahmin Catholic Goan. Ans: There is no SUPPOSED catholic Brahmins about it, they are original Goan Hindu Brahmins. Cornel: For instance, the parents would rather a bloke married a little educated white woman than a highly educated non-Brahmin Goan woman. Such is the level of their intelligence and integrity and there are loads of examples to confirm my point. Ans: As Selma once said, her mother knew of one PAKLO BAMON. Just like Whites in South Africa considered Chinese as HONORARY WHITES, such is the nature of the human beast. (Again, British way of life, the royalty (head of the Anglican church) will not marry a commoner - they see it as a class system, it actually is a caste system.) Cornel: I believe that it is still against the law for the head of the Church of England to marry a Catholic but not illegal to marry a commoner. Ans. Then why did Edward have to abdicate? was Simpson a Catholic? Cornel: Just one final point.Please please please do not equate caste with class. The concepts are totally different. Ans: Why not? Concepts are NOT different. A commoner cannot sit with a Royalty in Church, this, I classify as caste system. The English with their high English command decreed it as class and not caste; for if they called it caste, they would be equating it with the lowly Indian way of life (they were the rulers remember?) Cornel:If you did, the casteists would love you for it because they badly need to pretend that the evil system of caste, they have internalised, is just like the more open system of class that has emerged with the development of industrialisation. Please don't let them fool you on this one whatever you do! Ans: I repeat, get rid of God and we will not need the Brahmins doing the rites, they can stick to doing the barbers (dentists) and the butchers (surgery) jobs. Goans will follow suite Gilbert. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **** http://www.GOANET.org **** --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ECAP 2007 - Computer Society of India - Goa Chapter inaugurates its 15th Exhibition of Computers & Allied Products at Hotel Mandovi, Panaji at 9:30am on Sep 8, 2007 at the hands of Mr. M.
