Here's the Yessir! part Michael, and that is how well Share has you

Any negativity you can in some way ascribe to MMY, or weird
association to MMY, trumps any of the faux humanitarian concerns you
trumpet here on occasion.
Because it falls right in your blind spot, you likely can't see it,
but most others can.
But aside from even that, as regards India, since you discount any
element of spirituality in general, you are unable to separate out
what many others see as one of the priceless gems India has to offer
which are the realized spiritual teachers, most of whom exist
completely under the radar.
That does not even include teachers from the past, who founded major
religions, or spiritual paths, including Buddhism, and maybe
everything else except Christianity and Islam.
Instead you focus only the myriad problems that exist there. Nay, you
positively gloat about them since you think they reflect poorly on
MMY, which then gives you some consolation. Yes, I know that is weird.
You don't seem to realize that everyone else is fully aware of the
problems that exist there. Others are just able to separate the milk
and the water, to use a Vedic analogy. But, we all know what
resentment does to see things in a balanced way.
In the meantime do think you could spare us your selective concern for
humanitarian causes?

/Straw man arguments/ are easy to knock down, For those unfamiliar with
the term, a /straw man/ is a common type of argument that someone brings
out to intentionally misrepresent the original topic of the argument. If
two people are arguing and one person is losing dramatically, they may
attempt to subtly change what the argument was about in the first place.
The logic is that, if the person can't win the argument on his or her
own merits while discussing the original topic, perhaps they would have
better luck by changing the topic being talked about altogether. It's a
common tactic among the anonymous people who argue about religion,
politics and pop culture on the Internet.

Why do eldest sons in India overshadow their siblings? Because they’re
literally taller.
