I think the counter argument is as follows --> Lets assume that all brahmins have IQ 140 and above.
---
I did not say that, I used the bell curve
-----
For a healthy economy show that having a person of IQ 120 doing a job with a job reqt of IQ 100 is bad.
IOW if brahmins of say 130 are replaced by an OBC of IQ 120 for a job with 120 reqt while the brahmin does a job with reqt of 100 then is it bad ?

What is happening is inefficient use of resources
Are parsis an asset - yes
Could India get along without the parsis - yes again
Would India be better with the parsis- yes
In Uganda, with an average IQ of 75, Idi Amin kicked out the 100 IQ Indians and
yes Uganda survived and now Uganda has invited them back
What is happening in tamil nadu and other parts of India is lack of vision
In Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew gives money to get high IQ women to breed more
In US, IQ tests for employment are banned,
In India, microsoft uses IQ tests for hiring staff
I cant find the quote, but per Bill Gates, all he cares about is hiring the smartest
staff

We need several pieces of data to make any headway in this. If somebody can post some links where we can find the relevant info that would be good. I think the foll pieces of data would be good to start with..
1. 10+2 median scores by caste
2. univ enrollment scores by caste
3. univ enrollment cutoff by caste
4. prob of a person getting admission for a given degree by caste.
To repeat the hypothesis in question is -> if you reserve large portions of seats by caste then it induces enough competition so that both the benefits/costs due to reservations become irrelevant.
---
To play devils advocate, I think a small amount of reservations is good,
even for upper castes
What reservations do is to darwinically winnow out the lesser talented among the upper castes. The over-achievers still get through despite reservations
However, beyond a point , even the over-achievers get winnowed out

The grey area is the kind of economy involved --> TN might not exactly be the kind of knowledge economy like bay area for eg.
