Jogoa said, Going by your several posts on the subject, it appears that you yourself belong to ?Chardi? caste, perhaps, a low budget Chardi (as you say). At Guirim boarding School, you had watery curry with TWO pieces of meat in it, remember ? ------ Hi, At least I have lived in Goa and know what it is like, and know damned well that people are treated according to their sophistication - NOT CASTE. I know of people coming to our door to borrow money to go to Bombay and I know very well -NOW- they were not Bamon or Chardi. To the sophisticated people on hard times we went to their door to give them money. This is Chardi/Bamon sophistication, not people like you who took whatever came to them.
Chardi people did Ladainhas to keep people like you happy, PIECE OF CAKE IS BETTER THAN NO CAKE AT ALL. To encourage you, THAT YOU TOO CAN BECOME LET-FET. If we did not do Ladainhas etc we were called MISERS by people like you. Chardi Bamon took risk that is why they suceeded, ALL YOU PEOPLE DID AND STILL DO IS - COMPLAIN and complain without any basis. In Goa NO CHRISTIANS ARE HELD BACK BY OTHER CHRISTIANS just because they belong to other caste. As I said in my last post, I sat with the other kids and not in the Chardi dining hall - BECAUSE I WAS NOT RELATED, this is my personal experience, YOU CAN HOLD YOU BIASED THOUGHT. Kids were fed or not fed depending upon how close their parents were towards each other NOT CASTE or if they were related or not. If ones kid was fed the other HAD to return the favour, no matter what caste. ED. The two pieces of meat at Guirim was soon stopped after our parents took action, I mentioned it to tell you that people are treated according to the money in their pocket, segregation was money oriented not caste. again I repeat SEGREGATION. About me being a poor Chardi (I'm not a Chardi and I resent that), loosing the battle?! - you are holding at straws! - no sophistication inspite of being to let-fet London. ED.-
