The cited book has no information on how the surveys themselves were conducted. The book is an overall romanticization of pre-colonial india, and frequently indulges in nostalgia.

The following books have a good overview of education&caste in india.

A. L. Basham, The Wonder That Was India

Gail Omvedt, Understanding Caste

I will try not to engage further, but if you had any reading comprehension you'd look through the cited "far-left" sources on the wikipedia page.

i'll also assume that you wouldn't perform very well in the intelligence metric you're so fond of.

caste system in india is an evil that persists even today, and is a complex topic. majority of the indian-origin users on hackernews or people in the IT community are very likely upper castes. see [1] If you are interested to learn more about the caste system in india it is recommended to get your facts from multiple sources. start from [2]

try it out with different voices, for starters try

  say "process failure" -v trinoids
you can find all the available voices with

  say -v '?' 
or from Accessibility>Spoken-Content>System-voice>Manage-voices
