If you cannot understand English, I cannot explain in Marathi. Or is your deviation a part of the traditional practice by some Madgaonkars of distracting from topics? My response: Sotor, let me first clarify your queries. I don't know which Madgaonkar(s) are known for distracting from topic(s). I also don't know which distracting Madgaonkar(s) you have dealt with in the past. No, I'm not dragging you into any other thing. I am asking for your clarification "to the point" and to the line used by you. I do understand English, Marathi, Hindi as well as Konkani. And considering your difficulty in Marathi, you can even explain me in Konkani. You say that you used the line i.e. ""..why is it that what the Portuguese did 500 years ago is used to torture the present day christians?....." in context with Ravindrabab. So the line adds serious interest in your message. Therefore please explain me how Ravindrabab was torturing Christians for what Portuguese did 500 years ago? And also let me know why Christians tolerated him without any ifs and buts until his last breath? Best regards, U. G.
