Yes, unfortunately.

This set of statistics counts people from India as "Asians," but there are relatively few Indian Moslems-- most Indians are Hindu.

Most of the Indians who converted to Islam were from lower castes. They felt they were held back by Hinduism, and wanted to joined a system where everyone was equal.

But several hundred years later, they are less likely to be well-educated and qualified to emigrate. Most of the Indians who come to this country are from the middle and upper castes, and have families who can pay for expensive private education.
