Any castiologist could point towards the caste system

The Catholic community in Mumbai has witnessed a strong migration to the West in
recent times.

It allows for young women to separate the men from the

Well said Carlos!
the caste system will die fairly soon
I agree with Carlos that the so-called caste system among some fake Goan

whatsoever.
The so-called Catholic caste system is just a superiority complex illusion
