Curbs on Iran female students take effect

[Friend]

Those indoctrinated and beheld to dogma are stupid ---and by that definition, you are also stupid---Or should I drill it more into your Talib brain or shove it up your Mullah "abused" bottom?

The bill must have been passed by those highly educated guys of the Iranian parliament. Again, you are humiliating the whole Iranian nation by calling them stupid though they are living in a democratic system.

With respect to population, India is improving but it's not on the same level as Iran. I can walk miles in India and not find a single person who can spell his name, and we are talking in millions(doesn't India have more people than Africa combined?) the same can't be said for Iran. I agree that India produces more Engineers, Scientists, Doctors, but I'd pick a Sharif University grad over any Indian grad any time of the day. I hope I don't offend my Indian friends, but my experience with Indian grads, primarily from IIT-D, IIT-M- has been they are nothing but parrots who are excellent in memorizing every Java library, but terrible at innovating and implementation(obviously, there could be several exceptions). Iranian schools like Sharif University, Amir Kabir, IUST, now these are quality graduates that regularly feed prestigious top-notch American universities. My Iranian friends have told me 'useless memorization' is not stressed in Iran, it's critical thinking that is stressed.

Your mileage may vary; again, I apologize in advance if my sharp criticism has offended any Pakistani or Indian parrots.

Well it is not that the Indian are sharp but their govt is doing a lot for them and then their lobbies in the sates is working for their nation day and night.
Also the American govt is giving especial attention to the Indians as they consider indians as their allies and strategic partners so this could be a part of their agreement to give room to indians in their IT and other industry.

May be---But as I have noticed with many Indians and Chinese as well that when they are not able to get into the highly competitive IITs and Pecking university or Hong Kong university, they head to universities in the US easily. Many undergraduate find employment locally and enroll into local graduate programs.

IITs are basically institutions for producing engineers not research institutes ---One scale of comparison would be how many patents do Iranians have and how many Indians ---research output can be another scale---As for I know, India is more advanced than Iran in a number of technological domains. One example would be,
