Hi Goanetters,
There is an age old saying ,that "Wearing a pair of trousers do not make u a gentleman".
Similarly becoming a Catholic or Christian does not make u an outcaste. - or does it!
In fact Dalits have a separate church in the South of India. Why?
The same saying applies here in a different context, - in Europe we now have " the New Rich".
These newly acquired riches does not make a person behave like a gentleman.
In the same way a person who has become a Christian, does not automatically become an 'aristocrat'
One has to learn to behave, - pouring some H2O on ur head does not make u an aristocrat.
Therefore Brahmins will always be Brahmins.
A Dalit was asked by a foreigner, 'how do u know who is a Dalit and who is not?'
The Dalit said - We Just Know - They know!
This is Not Just A Goan Problem. Sincerly, Milad Meah. (Acton, London)
