Why Indians aspire to be strategists, thinkers and CEOs?

It is all linked to cast system. For millenia work is graded.
Top level is sitting, thinking, reading. Apparently all aspire to be a brahmin.

2nd grade is governance & defence...
Who doesn't want to clear UPSC & rule or clear NDA & be a General.

3rd grade is of public interaction - marketing, informing, trading... "Chahe Harvard se MBA karlo rahoge to ghar ghar jaa ke bechne wale hee"... Mausa explaining MBA. So, imagine the grace & respect for this job that Indians have subconsciously. Interestingly, 98% of politicians come in this category not the second grade - occupied by PM, CM, DM. Subconciously, we dont think good of politician's job. We deride it. It is visible in average quality of politicians.

4th level - the less said the better. Labour is the most disgraceful job in our society.

Why would then not everyone want themselves and their children be strategists aka Brahmins?

I ran manufacturing. I see that in every department the most aspiring thing is not performance, but that job which requires sitting and thinking.
Graded work means ultimate merit lies in grade not in quality of job executed.

The major difference of US and Indian Capitalism is the heady cocktail of capitalism and caste system.

Want love of strategists finished? Eliminate caste system from the minds. As such we are a casteless society now for 70 years.
