Rico,
It is precisely because some bhatkars had a social concience that they didn't
throw out the mundkars at the first inkling of the news that a Tenancy Act was
being enacted, as quite a number did. However, now that the land is in the
hands of the second generation, neither bhatkar nor mundkar is bothered with
either side of the "encumbrances". Hence what you see out there, I am sorry to
say.
In the meanwhile, I have noticed that in case of a dispute between mundkars,
the bhatkar is called upon to decide, and the Sarpanch washes his/her hands off
the matter ...
Gabriel.

The Goan bhatkar class would have been better off for itself, if it
had a vision and a social conscience.
