Why Indians are so distinguished in physicists and mathematicians?
The answer to this question has many similarities with a previous article: Why do Russians excel so much in mathematics and physics? [September 2020.]
*In general, there are two different ways to think, one is Western: speed kills strength, while the Eastern: strength kills speed. Both sentences are correct but only under different conditions.
We suppose that:
the study and research of physics and mathematics belong to the second.
*It is worth mention Albert Einstein's quote: "Imagination is more important than knowledge", David Hilbert citing the researcher's resignation: "Well, he didn't have enough imagination to become a mathematician"
*Here we could say that chess sport games are an interconnected thing:
imagination is the main factor common to mathematics, physics and chess.
Imagination in Indian chess is a unique, strong and creative field of imagination. Almost every chess player knows well how deep and difficult the Indian chess games of kings and queens are.
**In short, it is an integral collective process of education, training and creative thinking.
An important note on why Indians perform so well in physics and mathematics can be described via the so-called:
Three-dimensional human classification
shown in the following figure.

The Indian population is quite large (+E9) and we therefore find a significant number of people located in the first sixth of the curve.
This means that this large number of people are active, intelligent and well educated.
This is the requirement for a superior physicist or mathematician.
