Anyone able to link the study itself ? It ' s interesting , but the abstract doesn ' t say much about how group IQ was assessed or the demographics involved beyond some groups containing a higher percentage of women than others . <| sep |> I appreciate your clarity on this . Baseless criticism even from eminent personalities amounts to nothing . The article from LIVEMINT is one the best commentaries I have read on this situation . A real neutral perspective . I see that the standard of LIVEMINT article is grade above many indian papers . I am willing to subscribe to them even if they take the paid route . Its acceptable and even desirable to oppose the govt on many things . But come on back it up with something valid rather than opinion pieces .
