I don't know where this smart South Indian Brahmin stuff comes from. The reason you see a lot of South Indian people is, first and foremost most of the space launching stuff happens in South India, because of geography. Bangalore, Kerala, TN, Andhra all have some space related centers also ISRO had centralized recruitment only around early 2000. Yet there are quite a lot of North Indians in ISRO, even in history. There is only a slight advantage to South Indians which is primarily geography and people tend to live and work next to their home state.
Coming to Brahmins, K Sivan must be the first and only Brahmin Chairman of ISRO. Need I say more.
These people here know nothing of the context and ground reality on 99% of this stuff.
Then in another thread they will furiously tell you to face you dont know any Tamils in real life lol.

@Krptonite why you care so much on convincing certain characters here man? They
look at the science output stats, the patent output of country (and account for 7 - 8 times population all they want to) and they get the inferiority complex that they then viscerally counter with internal delusion of mard-e-momin feelz.
It burns even more for them when you look at and point out the relative socioeconmic performance of where these people have ended up that are most developed (be it UK, US or Canada)....the term "bradfordstani" (along with equivalents in the other countries I wont get into) and all it implies didn't emerge out of the blue.
They can keep making excuses for that all they want (harping on about Caste or whatever...all the while trying to seem super pious in other threads ...."my religion does not have caste waaah") devoid of the actual data to support it too (i.e what are the actual migrant composition % by these markers?...significant enough to cause such a relative socioeconomic disparity?)
As for poverty they keep harping on about:

So much for that argument.
They'll go silent too when you ask why the USSR, China did what they did (regarding their science programs etc) while reeling from 10 times the grandiose poverty intensity that India does today.
Why did the US enter a space/arms race while it still kept its own black citizens in huge number of states....out of things as basic as schools, restaurants, businesses....you name it....condemning them to grandiose poverty (forget the stripping of human dignity)?
They will never come to terms with any of this, simply put they are after emotional justification, not logical reasoning.....and in an IQ thread of all things ironically lol.
