Thanks, Nanda. This is a good intro for anyone who wants a snapshot of past and present India and the contributions Indians have made historically. (Although present-day India seems to be in competition with China and the U.S. to see who can use the most resources first.) What did you think of Bill Gates’ comment, “After the Chinese the South Indians are the smartest people in the world.”? Compliment or put-down?

CRS,
Yes. I did notice the statement. AFTER Chinese.... the South Indians are the smartest people.
It is generally accepted that South Indians have great IQ. They say it is due to their dietary habits - Fish and rice. Rich in Omega3.
The stereo-type is that North Indians are better looking and not so sharp. South Indians are on the uglier side, but intelligent. Bombay happens to be right in the middle. :-)
When it comes to accent, Chinese and South Indians appear to compete. I myself sometimes can't understand South Indians.
