The majority of them are either doctors, CEO's, and all that... and about 3 or more Indian's have been ranked the most richest people after like bill gates and whatever.. what makes them so smart?
1--Indians value education, as Americans are more worried about image and small pecking orders within their own groups (moving up within their own networks).Anybody, of any race can be smart, or focus on certain things. It's more of an difference of agendas. Think about how important we Americans value our primary education system. Some will tell you a lot, but look how so many want to go to voucher systems, and alternative schools outside of public which was nearly unheard of 40 years ago.My take on the average American public school is a daycare for kids, as both family member often work. Some go into advance placements (the smart kids), the others are pretty much offered diplomas if they serve their time. Many would say they were not just handed that high school diploma, but if they had to go head-to-head with most of schools in the world, they would like like ignorant brats. I hate to say that, but it's true. Things will change eventually.
2--Their parents strictly raise them to be disciplined. 2.) Where they are from, they do not have access to things we, americans, have that may cause them to be distracted (i.e. PS3's & other high tech gaming systems, Zunes & other music devices, materialistic items, the American media, etc.); therefore, their focus is primarily towards their school work.3.) They have mainly healthy & well diets (they do not overly indulge in fast food & oily/sugary dishes the way we Americans do.).And those things are carried to generation to generation.Dispite all, they have ONE thing we (americans) primarily lack in...DISCIPLINE & RESPECT!!!!Anything other than that, is completely out my hands. :-)

History Of UNICEF
Food to
After World War II, European children face famine and disease. UNICEF is created in December 1946 by the United Nations to provide food, clothing and health care to them.
The UN General Assembly extends UNICEF’s mandate indefinitely. UNICEF begins a successful global campaign against yaws, a disfiguring disease affecting millions of children, and one that can be cured with penicillin.
Danny Kaye
The movie star Danny Kaye becomes UNICEF’s “Ambassador at Large.” His film Assignment Children, about UNICEF’s work in
The UN General Assembly adopts the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, which defines children’s rights to protection, education, health care, shelter and good nutrition.
Following more than a decade of focus on child health issues, UNICEF expands its interests to address the needs of the whole child. Thus begins an abiding concern with education, starting with support to teacher training and classroom equipment in newly independent countries
UNICEF is awarded the 1965 Nobel Peace Prize “for the promotion of brotherhood among nations.”
Marked by celebrations around the world, people and organizations reaffirm their commitment to children’s rights
The World Health Assembly adopts the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes in order to encourage breastfeeding, and in so doing diminish the threats to infant health.
UNICEF launches a drive to save the lives of millions of children each year. The ‘revolution’ is based on four simple, low-cost techniques: growth monitoring, oral rehydration therapy, breastfeeding and immunization
UNICEF’s study Adjustment with a Human Face prompts a global debate on how to protect children and women from the malign effects of the economic adjustments and reforms taken to reduce national debt in poor countries.
The Convention is adopted by the UN General Assembly. It enters into force in September 1990. It becomes the most widely- and rapidly-accepted human rights treaty in history
An unprecedented summit of Heads of State and Government at the United Nations in
War’s effect on children receives serious attention in the Machel Report: The Impact of Armed Conflict on Children, a study supported by UNICEF
The Council’s first open debate on the subject reflects the strength of international concern over the effects of war on children
The Global Movement for Children begins mobilizing every citizen of every nation to change the world with children. The Say Yes for Children campaign builds on this momentum, with millions of children and adults around the world pledging their support for critical actions to improve children’s lives
A landmark Special Session of the UN General Assembly was convened to review progress since the World Summit for Children in 1990 and re-energize global commitment to children's rights. It was the first such Session devoted exclusively to children and the first to include them as official delegates.

some benefit squeezing for every cell in the body
What are some of the benefits of squeezing so much data into virtually every cell in the body?
A DNA strand contains a complete representation of everything about our physiology. It also contains instructions on how to form our body by repeated divisions of a single cell. Each cell needs to know when it should, split into two, split into different kinds of cell for tissue differentiation. Cells also need to know when to stop growing because the body or organ is mature, and when it needs to replace tissue lost by injury. All of that is encoded into one molecule. So in other words the benefit of squeezing a lot of data into our cells is that our cell knows what to do and when to do it.
Why did humans not evolve with one central repository of DNA rather than having it replicated throughout the body?
DNA contains instructions on how to make proteins. Each cell uses its own DNA to make proteins which it needs to do its job. Other parts of the DNA tell the body what cells to make, but even this job is done by other cells, which split, differentiate and turn into organs because of the instruction in DNA. That's why it is in every cell, and not in some central place, because every cell was split off from some other cell that also had a full set of DNA.
Assume that the hereditary information carried in genes and DNA is responsible for many differences observed in humans and other living things. How could just four different bases in DNA strands be responsible for the almost endless variety found in nature?
The same way 1's and 0's are responsible for everything that comes out of computers. While the code itself is simple, it codes for very complicated things. The 4 bases of DNA lead to very complicated proteins according to set rules. DNA has four bases, represented by the letters A, T, C and G; the initials are of the chemical names for those bases. They are arranged in groups of three, each group being called a codon. So ATA is one codon, CGT is another. Even with only four letters, you can get many codons and thus very complicated instructions.
I'm no expert, but your body grows by producing cells. They DNA code is transmitted to each cell so they all will match. If not, then you would have brown hair on one side of your head and red on another or one arm would be longer than another. That is simplified explanation

In the mid-1980s, the Indian government regulations changed and permitted foreign companies to enter the Indian market through minority joint ventures. The two-wheeler market changed with four Indo-Japanese joint ventures: Hero Honda, TVS Suzuki, Bajaj Kawasaki and Kinetic Motor Company (Kinetic Honda). The entry of these foreign companies changed the Indian market dynamics from the supply side to the demand side. With a larger selection of two-wheelers on the Indian market, consumers started to gain influence over the products they bought and raised higher customer expectations. The industry produced more models, styling options, prices, and different fuel efficiencies. The foreign companies new technologies helped make the products more reliable and with better quality.
