Do you have evidences to support that the Islamic invaders killed selectively? For example it is documented that Dubois sought the conversions of brahmins into Christianity. But even there it is not clear that they were raw IQ.

One of the side effects of the caste system and the specific job areas of each caste and endogamy is that those who dont have strengths in the caste skills go extinct

So just like dog breeds optimised for skils in different areas
Indians are optimised skills in their caste areas

Something similar happened to the jews

Thanks to the oral tradition, memory skills ( an important part of IQ )
became optimised to a large extent in the brahmin caste and a lesser extent in the merchant castes

The merchant castes also became optimised like the jews in commercial math
and networking skills

Another caste that I expect to show up in higher IQ is the vishwa karma caste
thanks to hand-eye co-ordination skills ( which is the largest part of the brain )

The muslims did 2 kinds of massacre, first is general massacre
Next is community leader forced conversion or death, example being events leading to death of Guru Tegh Bahadur
Community leaders will tend to have higher IQ than the masses

Another indirect effect of islam suppressing the IQ of brahmins is this
In south India, brahmins kept to their traditional teaching and chanting jobs
and the evolutionary pressures thereof, maintained their IQ

whereas in north India, thanks to the islamic disruption, many brahmins had to make a living in non-traditional areas and that weakened the darwinian pressure for higher IQ
