Just so you know: the prevalence of non-Brahmin castes among toppers is discussed rather in hushed tones. The supposed explanation is that "richer" families have better access to coaching.

I have been involved in public exams in India. I think the best predictor for performance is how relevant your parents' education is, to your career, not caste per se.

Agreed. My caste is obsessed with both money and education. I'll let you guess it on your own time < laughing out loud >.

Oh, I can guess :) which is why I mentioned "richer" in quotes.
