Of course not. India's IQ is not 81. In fact, India's culture is the most mind-oriented. It is amazing to see how such little game from the west can cause so much disturbance in eastern people. It is more amazing how people, including westerners, buy this naive idea of IQ... I never thought we are smarter than Indians. More Chinese creativity is smothered by the education system.

Indian friends, why do you buy this IQ stuff? If Indians have low IQ, how Indian civilization was created? If IQ decides the weathy of a nation, then why a nation can be wealthy and poor in different times? China was very wealthy 200 years ago, very poor 100 years ago, getting wealthy again now. Only short visioned and superficial people would come up these IQ theories. I googled the IQ issue many times, and found that it all came from several specific individuals, namely a couple western professors. The IQ thing has spred in form of a rumor much more than in form of knowlegde. There might be some scientific innocence in some evolved in those studies, but I did get the immpression that many are true racists behind the mask of science. Their true intent is to belittle the blacks. They usually showed that they were not racist by saying that east Asians have higher IQs, then forgot the east Asians, and focused on the difference between the blacks and the whites. For the sake of analysis, let's assume that blacks do have low IQs, yet this knowledge does not lead to any higher truth. It is the end. Then why even bring it up if not to humiliate? Why tell a girl she is ugly?

You cannot point to Indian technical accomplishments and then assume that it can be capable of a per capita GDP of China or the West.
Thousands of years ago, India still had a high population. All India needed was a few thousand people with IQ above 130 and they could innovate. However, the masses with low IQ are STILL THERE. And as of yet, there has been no general education progress of the masses at the level which would disprove the notion of a low average IQ.
Additionally, there have been severe dysgenic tendencies in the past 3 generations, whereby poor people had more kids in shorter generations than rich people.
