Here's a data point: 57% of a survey of young men in India said it's OK to beat your wife. http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-04-25/india...

The equivalent figure in the US is 10%. http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2015/03/18/39286028...

Men in India are far different than Indian men in America though. Indian men in America have the lowest crime rates by an order of magnitude in all facets, are the wealthiest, possess the highest percentage of college degrees etc. You're seeing the best and the brightest with a few scum that slip through the cracks. There are tens of millions of people in India especially in villages that force marry children and do a whole bunch of stupid shit. This is a completely different subset. If this study was done for Indian men in America I am confident that it would be as low or lower than any other ethnic group
You may be right; Indian Americans will probably be closer to American norms than Indians.
I believe when it comes to Skilled Immigration policy, America has some really good filters.
