Intellectually Superior??
I was wondering!!! Within my short career I have interacted with a number of peers, friends of various countries. But time and again I am intrigued by the thought how much superior we Indians are with respect to our intellectual capabilities. We are much more competitive than any other people in the world.(Perhaps Americans are the only ones who can come close & I have never interacted with Japanese people). Nor even the Chinese. In spite of this, how could the British control India for such a long time. Why India is still developing and not developed? These are some of the questions I have tried discussing with my friends and the answer is not very hard to find. Perhaps we Indians lack in mental strength, the same competitive spirit is what kills us. I will delve more on this topic in the coming days.

I differ with you here.
Your sample is not representative of the country. Let me explain. The kind of people you meet belong to a similar social strata as yours or achieved similar things that you have achieved.
Your assumption is that the indian sample and other countries' sample are equally representative of their own countries. That's an assumption which I feel is wrong coz the Indian sample is always towards the more intelligent end than the foreign sample.
