I'm not really well-versed enough in Hinduism to agree or disagree with your interpretation of their scripture.
But I do live in a country with a very substantial South Asian minority, and I can tell you that Indians and South Asians generally have a substantial cultural predisposition towards emotionally overwrought, performative reactions to perceived slights or insults, and towards weaponizing any victimization narrative they can get their hands on.
I'm not sure if the same is true in India itself or if maybe the monumental sense of entitlement is unique to the higher-caste emigrants who are rich enough to leave, but I've seen enough of it here to be willing to call it a pattern.
I’ve lived in India. Believe me, it’s the same over there…
Entitlement and higher caste Hinduism very much go hand in hand…
In fact, from what I saw of Buddhism in India as well, it is more culturally widespread than just their bloody “household gods on steroids” majority religion… 🤷🏻♂️
That's not actually an observation in disagreement, since you are describing a group behavior and Old Bull is describing a religious ideal. It is entirely likely that these groups wear their religiosity like some might wear a race or a sexuality for the perceived advantage, without caring otherwise.

So you're saying they act like our snowflakes here in the US?

You think that's bad. Try telling a Mexican street peddler "no."
