Ben.. that statement about Konkani and Tullu stereotyping BS. There's no more truth to it than a some sikh or a bengali or marathi or tamilian or whatever dropping by church. So drop it Ben. I'm getting little tired on this broad generalizations about a mallu or bengali is commie, rajput is coward, jat is hero, punjabi are xxx...., marwardis are .... gujus are... you get the idea.

er...dont jump to conclusions....cos... i know it from konkani and tullu friends of mine.
doesnt get more horses mouth than that !!!
they are hindus, and yet they go to church and were discussing how their mothers went in time just to ensure they got the bread crumbs the bishop/padre dished out.
that sounded very odd to me but i didnt want to ask them what the reason behind their hybrid practices were, lest they get offended in some way.
no generalisation. that would be if i said all konkanis go to church. re-read my queiry.
so what should i drop?? its one thing to go to a church (i have been to plenty) another thing to attend mass.
if board members cant answer me., then i'll find out from somewhere else.
