  1. My personal opinion – that screen shot is a good reflection of life. Americans are a lot of those things and more. We seem to be obsessed with 3 things – making money, and how much we can buy with our money. The days of values, morals, honor, charity and caring for one another are gone.

  3. Well there are 1.1 Billion people in India. And most Indians are no Atheletes.
    So where do all these people start earning with?
    Well the answer is simple Brains
    Except a few classes of Indians like Punjabis, Kashmiris and Gorkhas, who I should say are mostly born fit, dosent do very well (naturally) in sports.
    Even though these classes may constitue a lof of people, in India its just a small amount.
    So the rat race to earn money, more importantly survival, depends on how much you know and how much you can take in.
    Plus our socity puts many in shame, including the parents, if someone is weak in studies, then all hell breaks loose. Plus India is a place where Parents still rule supreme on the child. So the pressure created by parents also transform children into Geeks or Nerds. Alternative carrier and lifestyle is still a big taboo in India.
    So these things in a way act for the better for many, then again downfall of some. All in on people in India concentrate on studies and learning, plus there are so many of us
    so it results to a smart bunch standing out.
    No of smart people in India>No of People in USA

  4. You need to consider the economic situaiton for many peopl in modern India. Upon Independence, India was left in a terrible state thanks to the economic policies of the British Raj. For those who are unaware, the entire indigenous economy was systematically dismanted in favour of the British economy, in this way, many people subsequently endured much hardship that resulted in millions of deaths due to british Induced famines. When India became Independent, the first agenda for any middle class Indian was to secure their financial future and that was through education and obtaining qualifications where there was a national demand during Nehru’s socialist era.
    Money is still a problem and there is a lack of investment in various sports bar cricket so people dont see a need to invest their lives into professions where there is no gaurantee of stable financial future. Fortunately in the US, such opportunities are there to pursue whatever you want. Do people actually think that Indians are only good at computers, maths and medicine. Give me a break, we have people who are so talented in Music and various performing arts. Our ancestors were some of the toughest warriors in the world, believe me the talent is there in India, we need to invest in this and when the time is right, Indians will emerge dominant in other fields apart from just the stereotypical ones, and unlike communist china, the growth will be organic and sustained

  5. Hi, I would like to tell few words on this topic. Almost all the Indians seems to be and are brainy because the modern education system seems to silly for most of the Indians as they are all culitivated with Vedic Science from thousands of years where in to understand the Vedic Chants/ Shlokas, our ancients have dedicated their lives for spirutiality.
    The modern syllabus of education system seems to be very easy in front of Vedic studies because the books (Vedas, Vedangas, Puranas, Itihaasa{Mahabharata and Ramayana}) can be interpreted in 100′s of meanings and these were the syllabus for a kid studying in class1 to the top most education level under Gurukula Education System. Hence the text/ syllabus needs to be strong enough to serve a person through his entire student life, having infinite puzzles, meanings, etymological interpretations, numerology, psychology, ayurveda, astrology and astrnomy e.t.c in the same syllabus.
    As Indians are used to these type of studies {Remind : Sanskrit is not having literature, hence currently using 4 different LIPI’S (literature) in India called Deva-Nagari, Nanda-Nagari, Prakrit and Grantha-Akshara. Our ancients used to remember these Vedas and to pass it on to next generation called Shruti and Smriti} with all their intelligence spent to understand all the sciences that has been told in Vedas, they find modern education system comparitively easier and surely leading almost all of them due to new education system’s compartmentalisation.
    Thanks to all. Jai Hind
