To believe that people behave in a certain way because of caste
certainly sounds racist to me! But am I reading too much in believing
that rui nuvo is betraying both arrogance and a fear of the critique
of casteism that Cornel put forth in the first place? FN

[Goanet] Cornel DaCosta, condolences to the family.

Alas, I knew Cornel well. Gilbert's comments were justifiable in my view
without wishing to grade Gilbert on some fallacious concocted scale
of gentlemanly conduct.

We have to accept views of ourselves dead or alive with equal grace. The now
"liberated" Cornel would have wanted that I am sure.

Cornel wanted to be respected for his achievements and sadly almost demanded
it. In doing so he unfortunately reflected his caste and I am now looking at
Mario Goveia :).

My condolences to Cornel's family.
