Yes, and they conveniently leave out what the 75th percentile IQ in India
is, or how it actually compares to the same percentile IQ in the United
States, so the statistic is pretty much pointless.  On its face, it seems to
say "people in India are smarter, and there are more of them, watch out!"
but it really is meaningless.
