Amazing comment by a reader on Shashi Tharoor's cloumn in Times of India.

name,location,says:as an engineer, let me say, this is utter non sense. lets face it, the best of the best go for engineering. so they are more likely to succeed in anything they decide to do. even in core arts related inter-collegiate competitions like music or drama, engineering colleges outperform others. similarly, probably there are numerous terrorists who have studied humanities. but they would be inferior terrorists. you can have the same inference if you do a study of anything in india. the % of IIM grads who have engineering as basic degree is also very high. so you could say engineers make better managers! actually they are managers because of MBA. but they are better because they are engineers. Likewise, people become terrorists because of radical islam brain washing, but of teh lot, the better ones are engineers. the solution is not to teach humanities to engineers to avoid them becoming terrorists. but the solution would be to make them mediocre engineers so that they do not succeed in engineering major plots. but then you don't know which engineers would turn out to be terrorists, so you would have to make all engineers below par. and then you would have bad buildings, bad satelites etc. i bet the people who did this study are not engineers, otherwise they would have made better inferences.
