indian iq was discussed in a call in show recently. There is an important reason why the overall iq is in the 80s while US immigrant indians are over 100: caste. Brahmin indians seem to have jewish levels of iq, tho there doesn't seem to be as much data on them as the jews. Most indian immigrants to US are brahmin so can be predicted to outperform whites. Meanwhile indian immigrants to uk are other castes so will probably have lower social outcomes that the whites. Once you strip out the brahmins, perhaps it is then that you get the average iq in the 70s that the caller maintained. Of course poverty will contribute a lot to this and i would expect second gen immigrants from this pool to be higher.
