Even if you claim that the first generation of the Indian diaspora is super-selected, there is something called regression to the mean
What this means is that in a population of Avg IQ = 100, a man having 160IQ will have kids that move 80% to the mean, meaning, his kids will be at 112IQ
All nationalities send their top scientists to the US, but if you look at the next generation, you will find, Indians on top, followed by jews and chinese
The performance of the second generation reflects more towards what the Average IQ is
Meaning the selection effect, reduces by 80% in the second generation
and in that, Indian kids in the diaspora are on top
Look at SAT, spelling bees, Medical students etc
