I think the counter argument is as follows --> Lets assume that all brahmins have IQ 140 and above. For a healthy economy show that having a person of IQ 120 doing a job with a job reqt of IQ 100 is bad.
IOW if brahmins of say 130 are replaced by an OBC of IQ 120 for a job with 120 reqt while the brahmin does a job with reqt of 100 then is it bad ?
----------
We need several pieces of data to make any headway in this. If somebody can post some links where we can find the relevant info that would be good. I think the foll pieces of data would be good to start with..
1. 10+2 median scores by caste
2. univ enrollment scores by caste
3. univ enrollment cutoff by caste
4. prob of a person getting admission for a given degree by caste.
To repeat the hypothesis in question is -> if you reserve large portions of seats by caste then it induces enough competition so that both the benefits/costs due to reservations become irrelevant. The grey area is the kind of economy involved --> TN might not exactly be the kind of knowledge economy like bay area for eg.
