I don't think it is quite the right comparison. I think most Indians who end up being CEO (or senior executives) in companies have had some sort of post graduate education abroad, or they have work experience starting in a multi national corporation in India.

For excellence in sports, particularly at the olympic level, you need training facilities, budgets and infrastructure in the country. You will find that India is sorely looking in these!

I do not see what the ethnicity of these people has to do with their success. I think more credit should be due to the organisations who hired and supported them up the career ladder.

Some Indians complain highhandedness of Sikhs and Malayalees. Is it true? (Anyone from India, please?)

[rluhar]

No, not really true at all. The Sikhs and Malyalees are rather large communities, with large diasporas as well. I think "highhandedness" is too much of a generalisation (?) for such a large and diverse group of people!

[deepGem]

Not true at all. Such complaints are common about any community here though. So don't pay attention :).

You will find that the Sikh and the Malayalis (colloquially, Mallus) were one of the earliest communities to emigrate from India. They've had the time to build a local base in a foriegn country and hence might seem like a difficult group for other Indians to break in to.

True. They're many mutually exclusive communities in India. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Communal_Awar...

Not true.
