Are Indians really dumb?

Are Indians really dumb?
Are Indians really dumb? This seems to be a good topic to debate. Is India a desert when it comes to innovation and creativity?
Poverty in the mind and spirit is the reason for the lacklusture approach of we Indians. I am really appalled by some of the superficial knowledge of Indian students. The quality of work is so shoddy that there seems to be a loss of ingenuity.
JARGON USAGE
Lately, I see a lot of MBA students using the cliqued jargons in every situation.
BOTTOM LINE: The impact on the bottom line is significant. I understand when the tell "bottomline" when many of them wear their brains below the belt. In India, bottom line is the best metaphor for growth(forgive the pun)!. Growth for us is always sideways..increasing the girth. Who says "elephants cannot dance" when you have such a great "bottomline" growth.
SACROSSANCT sacrosanct. \Sac"ro*sanct\, a. [L. sucrosanctus.]: not capable of being violated or infringed. When you are not sure of a thing..tell that "there is nothing sacrossanct in this. Telling that you can be flexible in the most inflexible manner! Well the usage of this word in your ppt is not sacrossanct ;-)
For the time being, some like leveraging on core competence, adding up the value chain are taking a back seat. Ultimately it is those words that impact your "bottom line" that matters, is it not?
