Dear Goanetters, Selma Cardoso wrote:? Prejudice on this forum is determined entirely by the surname one writes under. What is "prejudice and/or prejudgment" under a Catholic Portuguese surname is a "lot of truth" under an Indian Hindu name.?
My response: Selma has made an important point in her post. I had written about this to Santosh Helekar sometime back and he was protesting that Selma and many folk who intermittently write anti-hindu rubbish on Goanet are all secular. Really? The message for the likes of Santosh is clear: If you wish to be feted as a Secular person on Goanet, you need to do Hindu bashing on a regular basis. You should refrain from writing anything remotely critical of Catholic church or catholics. It helps if you show some sympathy for muslims but not at the expense of catholics. Just occasional support for Hussain or occasional ignorant missives against Hindus, Hinduism or Hindu priests will not do. One of the crimes was, Mario, was, writing repeatedly on goanet about his early days in the midst of these terrible right wing Hindu folk. Where is he now? Anil Desai
