“Extremely proud to be a Xavierite. Grateful that education came with "no frills attached". If you were there you were a Xavierite, religion, caste & social status did not matter & still does not. The diaspora is spread to all corners of the globe, but the mention of St Xavier's will bring them all close together in a moment.” ~ Abhay Dandawate
