For long,the Bania Brain has been associated with calculative and manipulative dexterity.In other words,a realtively higher intelligence,specifically in area of numbers.More and more of them seem to be topping IIT-JEE,making it to IIMs and heading logistic,figure crunching functions in MNCs.
A genetic predisposition,perhaps?A culture of handling business(with the belly button-as they say)for generations?Or something else too?
Another attribute often traditionally associated with Banias is Fat.(Relax,i know there are exceptions like you!)As a community which originated in harsh and demanding environs of Rajasthan,it probably adapted itself to storage of resources,including fat!Since there was no chance of setting an agricultural economy in the deserts,the community also probably excercised its brain more than the body,setting up trade and flourishing businesses.
I often wondered if there was a connect between Bania-Mathematical IQ and Fat,till I read about the role of the Mylein Sheath in information processing.It is a fatty deposit along the axon of the neuron and its thickness is directly proportional to the speed of neural transmission.Faster neural processing has been longassociated with higher IQ.
So here it is-Banias process mathematical info faster becuse of their fat has also hit the brain!
Does this mean that thin banias who are not blessed with fat are not Mathematically intelligent?
Does it mean that all other fat people should also be Mathematically intelligent?
Does it mean that thin people cannot be mathematically intelligent?
We know that all the above answers are negative.So then,the real solution to this puzzle lies in understanding the location of this 'intelligence fat' in the brain.
It can be hence inferred that mathematical Intelligence can be attributed to extra mylein in certain neural networks in the mathematical and memory schemas.
So all fat people may have fat but not 'brainy fat'.
Some thin people may have 'Brainy Fat'
But most banias seem to have this brainy fat apart from other forms of fat.
Now can you connect a fatty brain to a larger brain size?Bingo-The brain size has already been associated with higher IQ.

CONGRATULATIONS ...... Good Job Neeti .... Wish U to Post more & More ... & WIsh myself to get more Posts with the time .. I know thats Worth visiting here ...... GOOD LUCK
ReplyDeleteNow Come to the Point ...... This thought is really very Debatable ..... You contradicted urself at many points ..... I dont think there is anything like 'Brainy Fat' .... But Yes certainly i somewhat convinced about Higher IQ associated with Banias either they r FAT or Slim ..... :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for writing Ajay. And for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteI must thank U Neeti for wonderful thughts U develop & share with all of Us .. thanx Buddy
