Symposium on Pre-Primary & Primary School Education & Primary School Students Chess Tournament More information at: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2008-January/068222.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Cornel, Among other things, I do say that Casteism is disappearing fast precisley among Goan Catholics only, but not among the Hindus in Goa and India in general. This I gather from 'observtion' amongst my friends both brahmin and non brahmin. I have no time nor is it my intention to study your type of statistics that are doubtful anyway, in the 'practical sense'. I believe only in practical solutions and methods for the dissemination of knowledge and dismantling of Casteism and its unholy effects on humankind. You should concede that for the Hindus in India this Caste and Casteism is as Holy as Holy Cow! Holy Cow and unholy low caste human are all related theories in so called Hindu Philosophy, and Santosh Helekar has the gall to talk of (self appointed??) Swami Vivekananda, who is the exponent of this dioscriminarory practices of the Hindus! Now this Swami I believe has gone to Christian USA with a begging Bowl for the Low caste people which are of his Hindu heirarchial creation, in the first place. Why does this Swami not ask the rich and well off Hindus to contribute en masse to the welfare of these low class people without re converting them to so called Hinduism??? Sush is the hypocracy! do not be carried away with Hindus saying they are aginst it; that is al for the consumption of gullible people. In one of my discourses on goanet, some Hindus have acknowledged that Caste is actually a sort of 'Race' among Races; that is why I say that one is born into a Caste and then segregated completely. Much like the Jews claim they are both a Race and a Religion, so it is in India; all these different castes have become different races over time. This above is my humble opinion and views, formed as I see it. I do not wish to partake any more in this futile discussion if the Majority Hindus are not willing to reform themselves en masse! Please refrain from bringing me into this dabate again. With regards, Nasci Caldeira. --------------------------------------------------- --- CORNEL DACOSTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Nasci > Many thanks for your substantial response.
