<!--QuoteBegin-brahma+Jun 28 2008, 10:20 PM-->QUOTE(brahma @ Jun 28 2008, 10:20 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->Shri G.Subramniam's many posts offer estimates about the Indian IQ.
--I think a few more years are required before we can make an accurate estimate of the SC/ST IQ. Even now, most of them are first generation learners and there is a possibility that they may catch up with the others, and be as productive as anyone else.
Most Brahmana families choose to do away with their customs and adapt to the world. Now that may be an indication of high IQ but the fact remains that to maintain the traditions highly intelligent persons are required, and the traditions themselves need to be preserved so that a semitic harvest does not occur in India.
Any strategies/opinions/solutions regarding this problem?

IMHO, if you look at vietnamese immigrants to the US
very many illiterates in the next generation manage to go to engineering school
in the US
In the case of the elite SC/ST, 2nd or 3rd generation affirmative action, I dont see
that
So I dont think there will be more than 5% of SC/ST who can function well
on the other hand, I have seen several peasant caste Indians do remarkably well
in the west, and if this trend continues, my model will have to move up the peasant IQ by 5IQ
As far as maintaining brahminical tradition,
in the past the merchant castes did the funding
As money comes into the hands of the merchant castes and peasant
castes, and they desire sanskritisation, this can happen
