Dear Santosh, I notice that you have abandoned your usual knee jerk reaction of asking for evidence when confronted with something you are uncomfortable with. Instead, you choose to question the motives of Rev. Dr. Victor Ferrao.
I think that recent scholarship of history proves that the contention of Ferrao is quite difficult to discredit. Did you know that there was no such thing as a Saraswat Brahmin until well into the 19th century? Regards Augusto From: Santosh Helekar <chimbel...@yahoo.com> To: "Goa's premiere mailing list, estb. 1994!" <goanet@lists.goanet.org> I am not sure whether the purpose of this attempt at historical?revisionism is purely political in order to counteract against the?Hindu zealots or it is some new form of religious or colonial?apologism concocted by the latest breed of theologians.
