3. The main point I wanted to make:
The comment on Indian Girijan and Harijan population is not correct. They could easily learn, but the methods employed in western education do not always help all individuals learn. (That may account for the estimate of 5% you mentioned that do well in western-type school system, whereas the others may find the same system harder to work with.)

The western type school system is the modern world
In this, I have not seen 2nd or even 3rd generation blacks, mexicans, indonesians, malays, thais, all middle eastern muslim states and SC/ST do well
I have on the other hand, seen rural artisan and peasant castes, vietnamese, chinese and koreans and japanese do well
I have always stood for honesty in understanding our strengths and weaknesses
Even 6th gen SC/ST , only 5% will be able to perform well vs maybe 35% for the
peasant castes
Look at the quota creamy layer SC/ST and how they perform in med and engineering
