The article currently includes ungrammatical/unclear sentence: "Some are Christians, among whom are Roman Catholics, while others are Hindus." Surely none of the Christian ones are Hindu, right? And "among whom are Roman Catholics" is unclear and, if it is meant to be an assertion that the Christian ones are all/mostly/some Roman Catholic, that needs to be sourced. There exist two sources, one is linked (the mention of the existence of Christran Kharvi in the OBC listing). The other source is offline. Could someone fix this sentence and/or comment here. -- do ncr am 19:30, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
I edited the article in this edit to clarify that Kharvi are designated OBC in Goa (and by implication not necessarily elsewhere). At Talk:List of Other Backward Classes and/or the corresponding AFD (ongoing), it has been much emphasized by editor Sitush that exact statements are needed (else warfare will ensue?), and that OBCs are designated state by state. I am sorta dumbfounded by editor Sitush, then, reverting with edit summary suggesting it is "unnecessary pedantry" to state the designation exactly. I'll pause for comments, otherwise expect to restore the edit in the article. -- do ncr am 23:22, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
