Brahmin communities dominate IIT-Chennai faculties. Totally there are 427 faculties available. Out of this, 400 faculty persons belong to Brahmin communities. If we took survey in other 5 IIT's, we can find there also Brahmins domination

I did an informal survey a couple of years ago on the top 100 IIT entrants - incredibly, newspapers here in India list the 100 or so highest ranked IITians each year. 17 happened to be Tamil Brahmins

In the 1931 caste census, they were 3% of the TN population
and TN is 6% of Indian populatorn
so a community of 0.18%, gets 17% of top 100
and this community is no more than middle class on average
