Howdy
Hmmmm, Modi promoting flamboyant Gurus and protecting them whilst they rape, pillage and plunder to gain voting blocks, with no judicial system in place that can counter-balance his political power? I suppose you'd have to live in the kind of third-world country I live in to be exposed to this dynamic. But I don't know enough to have a good opinion (above my pay grade), but it sounds a bit extreme, and on the conspiracy side of thinking. On the other hand, Indian politics appear to be pretty freewheeling, with a big mix of 'spiritual' types with legislative powers, so you may be onto something.
For me, the real punch line regarding the Gurmeethead is the endless ability to those in his thrall to continue
to rationalize their authentication of the object of their devotion, under
almost any circumstances (just so fucking familiar, no?).
Not to say that, looking past the obvious tragedy involved, there is not a ton of humor involved. This guy is insanely funny, in a very noir
sense. You just can’t make this shit up!

BTW, I bet Sasha Baron Cohen could do a great film depicting a modern guru.
