If you ask my view (I never attempt to be politically correct), it is as follows I do not think there is less intelligence in India, but what India is losing by targeting the forward castes - especially Brahmins is the deep sense of duty, integrity (incorruptibility) and immunity to temptation of material (financial) recompense that Brahminism inculcates. What we are getting is an arrogant, grabbing Hindu. No less intelligent maybe - and India's predicted great power status will be achieved by these people. Brahminism's virtues were never designed for leading a nation into those areas. shiv
