Strangely, the Dravidian states of Southern India like Kerela and Tamil Nadu are much more developed than the Northern and Eastern states inhabited by Indo-Aryans. Ancient Greco-Roman historians stated that the Egyptians resembled the most to Northern Indians while Blacks resembled Southern Indians in terms of skin color only. There are cases of Greco-Roman authors likening Egyptians’ appearance to that of northern Indians, who generally do not look like black Africans. According to Arrian (Indica 6.9):
Strabo confirms in Geography 15.1.13, in almost identical wording:The appearance of the inhabitants is also not very different in India and Ethiopia: the southern Indians are rather more like Ethiopians as they are black to look on, and their hair is black; only they are not so snub-nosed or woolly-haired as the Ethiopians; the northern Indians are most like the Egyptians physically.
Arrian and Strabo concur that the Egyptians resembled northern Indians – who are usually straight-haired and occasionally as light-skinned as southern Europeans – rather than the dark Dravidian types of southern India. Furthermore, although Arrian and Strabo differentiate Ethiopians from South Indians in terms of facial form and hair texture, they cite no such differences between the Egyptians and northern Indians.As for the people of India, those in the south are like the Aethiopians in color, although they are like the rest in respect to countenance and hair (for on account of the humidity of the air their hair does not curl), whereas those in the north are like the Egyptians.

The majority of Indians don't make that money, and the underlying reason Indians strive harder is because they have experienced poverty, whereas Yankees don't know much of poverty and thus they don't push themselves to the limit.
The reasons are social, not genetic. Once Indians get used to the riches they shall relax and others will be trying harder...
