Is India starting to scrape the bottom of its high-IQ barrel?
Steve Sailer:
For a number of years, I've been largely alone in raising the question of just how deep are the supplies of high IQ people in India. There are a billion people in India, but how many of them are smart enough to become, say, American-quality systems analysts? Are they evenly distributed throughout the vast population or are they concentrated in certain castes and regions that have already been well-exploited?
India is way too complicated for me to provide an answer to these questions, but there is a certain amount of evidence that suggests that India has a much more divergent IQ distribution than China, so that the widespread American assumption of an unlimited supply of high IQ workers in India may be faulty.
Now the NY Times reports that smart workers are in short supply in India.

This fool does not realise that Dwijas are 15% of 1.1 billion = 160 million
and brahmins are 5.5% = 60 million
