IQ ranking in subcontinent

[Stylish Executive]

Based on my forum experience on Pakpassion, I noticed a strange trend. Whenever I would post something, some posters would always ridicule me (which includes Pakistanis). An overwhelming majority of the posters who ridicule me are the Indians. In fact, I didn't find any instance where an Indian agreed with me on any issue.

This trend inspired me to do a little research. So, off I went to google, looking for the average IQ estimates and I found this book. Now I know why I found this trend here on PakPassion.

Here is the wiki link to the book:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_and_Global_Inequality

IQ and Global Inequality is a controversial 2006 book by psychologist Richard Lynn and political scientist Tatu Vanhanen.[1] IQ and Global Inequality is follow-up to their 2002 book IQ and the Wealth of Nations,[2] an expansion of the argument that international differences in current economic development are due in part to differences in average national intelligence as indicated by national IQ estimates, and a response to critics. The book was published by the controversial Washington Summit Publishers. Lynn and Vanhanen's research on national IQs has attracted academic attention from several fields with both praise and criticism. Various authors have cited the book to reach further conclusions from the book's statements or to criticize or find support for the book's scores, methodology, and conclusions.[3][4][5][6][7][8] Several other data sets of estimated average national cognitive ability exist as explained in nations and intelligence.

Average IQ points for all nation is provided on wiki.

Average IQ Points among the subcontinent (2006 estimate):

Pakistan - 84

Bangladesh - 82

India - 81

As can clearly be seen, India ranks lowest among the subcontinent (excluding the small bhutan and nepal)

A little east, on the south-east side, the average IQ is remarkably higher, with 92 and 89 for Malaysia and Indonesia respectively. Highest IQ is possessed by the Chinese (specifically the Hong Kong people), at 108.

I know my post will infuriate the Indians here (understandably), but I just wanted to share my findings of this research with all PPers.
