“Brabmin Indians have taken over the IT field and are close to taking over the medical field.”
Yes, and even politics, now. But what’s behind it?
Brahmins have one of the highest group average IQs in the world and they are at the top of the caste system.
So the caste system is essentially a stratification based on intelligence.
It differs from the western version of the class system in that it is more rigid. Harder to escape your caste.
In the US we also have a class system, but it’s very fluid and not discrete and not socially defined or enforced. Ambitious, intelligent, hard working people still occupy the higher rungs of society.
So, here in the west, the stratification is mainly a statistical construct and not strictly tied to your origins. But to the extent that human traits such as IQ, ambition, honesty, etc are genetically based (which to a significant degree they are), then your origins (family) may determine the strata you end up in. But it’s not dictated by society.
Each individual can occupy any of those statistical strata (the “super rich” , the “upper class” , the “middle class” , the “poor” - these are all statistical constructs) at various times in his life depending on your performance.
So we have stratification in the west, but rather than society forcing you to be in a particular stratum based on your origins, you have a certain amount of control over where you end up based on how well you apply your inborn abilities.
An interesting side note is that in “Brave New World” the caste system was genetically engineering. So you had the Alphas, The Betas, etc. each caste designed to play a particular role in society and everyone in a particular caste was designed to be very happy there and to not want to be part of any other caste. So basically they eradicated envy which made for a very peaceful society.
(My stream of conscienceness thoughts, FWIW)
So, the thought begs the question......
How do you determine an Indian you run into in a business environment is Bahamian?
So you are saying that you want a caste system i take it. Well vote for Viveck the Trojan horse and enjoy being in a lower caste, regardless of how intelligent you think you are aquila48.
