Hi Sachin I note that you say that many Hindus have worked hard for the elimination of the evil of casteism. This process is to be found in the UK too where there is a movement working towards the elimination of caste/casteism in India, Sri Lanka and the Indian Diaspora. Indeed, a high level I

Cornel Dacosta asks me: "what do the Hindus in Goa make of the strange insistence among those who are practising 'Catholics' to be caste adherents even though they should know better that, there is no such thing as caste in Roman Catholicism?" I cannot speak on behalf of Hindus. Persona

Hi Cornel, I do not understand why U R continually harping on Catholic Casteism, like among Goans, but U R welcome, since it gives me an opportunity to present my views. Casteism is not a 'religious thing', more of a BAD Vicious phenomena of right wing Hindu Society. This Hindu Society stands c

Hi Nasci, All the below logic is 'water on duck's back' for him. He cannot get it into his head that the root of the problem comes from our Hindu origin, and unless and until the Hindu system is dismantled, this system will prevail. What makes a Hindu? believing in the Planets or giving nam

Hi Sachin Thanks for your kind response. In reply, I don't know if any Dalit Christians will be able to sue the Catholic Church for the use of false pretences over conversion but it is truly sad that the Catholic Church has engaged in an in-depth long term fudge over the issue of caste and Ca

To Nasci and Edward Firstly, thank you Nasci. Yours is an entirely reasonable point to make that casteism can be shed on entry to Catholicism. However, this has not happened for the best part of 500 years and many 'Catholic' Goan families have continued with their casteism to the present day

Hi Nasci Thanks for drawing your attention to my focus on caste among the 'Christian' Goans. Although you have reiterated the issue of caste in India and it affecting all Indians, I believe you are entirely wrong when you say that caste is an inherited thing. Caste has no natural life

Hi Cornel, One is 'born' into a caste, say a brahmin caste or a chardo or a shatriya and so on. This is as it is according to caste prevalence among all Indians; This has been so much before Christianity and Islam came to this sub continent called India. So accordingly when a Hindu brahmin conve
