Firstly I doubt any nation could have an average IQ that low,
IQ has always been hit or miss. there are obvious signs of people being mentally retarded or lacking social skills that lead to low IQ but not everyone is low IQ. Some people may struggle with math and STEM but still excel in other subjects, which doesn't mean they have a low IQ. The issue is that people on the right view it as clean cut and no nuance, while the left thinks it's racist and doesn't existRace/IQ researcher Phillipe Rushton noted that an IQ of 75 tends to look different in black and white kids. At that low a score, the white kid would show obvious signs of retardation but the black kid would still be somewhat socially skilled. Such are the limitations of iq testing. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar is going on with the Indians.
India is weird because it has 1.4 billion people. A good amount of their stats are going to be off because of that huge population, a lot live in slums or farming mud huts and are kinda dumb due to IQ/even genetics and lack of education. But in the West, a lot of the doctors and academia pre-H1B tend to come from upper castes and have better access to wealth and are smarter, this also goes for the ones in India also. That being said I view indians in the modern workplace like Mexicans, not the smartest but not that dumb and can be used to do cheap work for X company.
