Indians at Mckinsey/BCG

Hey guys,

Sort of random question here. I have heard a bunch of anecdotal reports that senior leadership at Mckinsey/BCG US (particularly NYC) has a lot of Indians as the senior partners/heads of important practices. Specifically, Indian immigrants. I wanted to 1- confirm if there are unusually high amounts of Indians in these firms and 2- ask for any reasons as to why they congregated to consulting specifically. While Indians do well in finance, my impression is this is more pronounced in consulting. I understand that America gets the cream of the crop indians so this isn't a question about diversity/affirmative action etc. 

Curious to hear thoughts and open to being told that I am just totally wrong, just looking for info.

This doesn't really answer my question as to why is it more pronounced in consulting? I understand that Indian immigrants generally do well because of the immigrants are well educated/speak English but my question relates to the specifics of consulting.
