No I haven't. Does it provide separate stats for Indians, or are they clubbed together with other asians?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Religion and culture seem to be the key
I had contacted these people by email and presented hard data on this
I further said that south asian IQ was pulled down by islam, 30% of the total
These guys then tried to dodge the issue
Also keep in mind much of India until recently had been on starvation diets
which stunts mental growth
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That is true. I say that islam lowers a man's IQ by at least 15 points, if not more.
If possible, can you post some o the hard data here? It would be very interesting to read.

This book ranks east asians high

Plus this guy used data from 1950s for India, while he used 1990s data for East asia.
The complete list of the IQs for all countries is here:

He has listed Mexico's IQ as 87, Iraq as 87, Indonesia as 89, Thailand as 91 & Vietnam as 96.
Indians clearly have higher IQ than these countries!
