age-demographics has any role?
any idea on jains?
religious attitude break-up (religious-nonreligious) play a role?

Nepal has an IQ of 78
Keep in mind
Nepal is much poorer and less literate than India
Also there are several tribes and castes. which castes were measured ?
Next Nepal suffers from iodine deficiency which reduces IQ
--
Assam, is racially similar to Thailand, but poorer
Thailand has 90 IQ, Assam is probably 84
---
Tibet is very interesting
The lama priests have to memorise a lot of stuff like brahmins and this would push their IQ to about 115
However the lower class tibetans are probably like nepalese , 78??
Tibet like nepal suffers from iodine deficiency which reduces IQ by about 10
In short, IQ tests are meaningless until a child has adequate nutrition from pregnancy to 5 and basic schooling
