I first read the following in April 2016:
Shankaracharya Swaroopanand Saraswati: Leader Says Women in
Shani Temple Will Increase Rapes...
...The Shankaracharya also said worshipping of Shirdi Sai Baba
by his followers caused the Maharashtra drought, news outlets reported.
And then I saw the following cartoon.
Although the cartoonist has targeted it at US citizens and the campaigning there for the presidential election, it's interesting to see how a good cartoon travels well.
