In some parts of India, the Christians are stratified by sect, location, and the castes of their predecessors[31], usually this refers only to the Catholic churches, not the Protestant, and could be in reference to nasrani who were bestowed caste-like status. Presently in India, more than 70% of Christians are Dalits, but the higher caste Christians (30% by estimates) control 90% of the Catholic churches administrative jobs [2]. Out of the 156 Catholic bishops, only 6 are from lower castes[32][31]. Many Dalit Catholics have spoken out against discrimination against them by the Catholic Church[33]. Christians in Goa are certainly likely to mention their caste in matrimonial ads [3
