So, to lay it out for you:

1) Hypothesis: There is discrimination against OBC in academia

2) Evidence: The near absence of OBC professors in IITs

3) Prediction: This probably affects OBCs outside India as well

I hope the author is not a STEM prof, because with that poor grasp of scientific method and statistics he wont be able to do justice to any subject that involves science. But of course I recognize that this is paraphrasing of the author and not author's precise argument.

When you take tiny slices of society where the people need to be in top 0.05% of their field, chances are there wont be uniform distribution of other social aspects in it such as race, caste, language, gender etc. I am not a statistician but this phenomenon is called non-ergodicity. I like to call it `Jew` effect.

> According to a May 1945 roster, Jews made up about two-thirds of the leadership in the Manhattan Project’s Theoretical Division (T-Division) — the group tasked with calculating critical mass and modeling implosions — which is still operating today as the only division with an uninterrupted history since Project Y.

Does this imply that the government was somehow discriminatory because there were not enough black people on the project leadership ? Perhaps project Manhattan needed a DEI department too ?

> 3) Prediction: This probably affects OBCs outside India as well

This is even more nonsensical. Outside India is mostly white and probably cant even spell Caste properly is obsessed with author's
dubious OBC identity ? How ? In my experience white people see all of us as brown people. They do no discriminate in their discrimination if at all they do it.

It is even easier to bust this sort of propaganda by finding counter examples. Look at areas where discrimination might cause major harm to the one discriminating.

Good example is politics:

Kamala Harris - who has some Indian blood is actually coming from "high caste" Tamil Brahmin.
Vivek Ramaswamy - again belongs to high caste Tamil Brahmin
Rep. Ro Khanna - Khatri caste (typically high caste)
Rep. Pramila Jaypal (maiden name Menon) belongs to higher caste Nair from Kerala.
Rep. Raja Krishnamooorthi - Tamil Brahmin.
Nikki Haley (real name Namrata Randhawa) - Jat (Royal/Warrior caste).

Let us look at Trump's appointments of federal judge appointments:

- Amul Thapar - Higher caste/Royal caste.
- Jagan Ranjan - Maithili Brahmin - high caste
- Raag Singhal - Warrior caste higher caste.
- Diane Gujrati - Trader caste - Medium caste (not OBC)

Lets look at other prominent judges in USA

- Moxilla Upadhyay the judge who warned trump - Higher caste Brahmin.
- Arun Subramanian - high caste.
- Sri Srinivasan - appointed by Obama. is an high caste Iyenger.

Unless both Trump and Obama administrations and their advisors such as Cato, Heritage, Soros etc. are all casteist engaging in a conspiracy to keep OBCs out of courts, it might be the case that Brahmins and Kshatriyas often tend to dominate the top academic fields.

PS Note: I have closely looked at IIT Bombay faculty recruitment for CSE department. The process is extremely rigorous and has far too many people involved. The person need to have impeccable academic record to begin with. We are pretty much talking about people who have consistently been top 0.05% of every damn exam in their life.
