Why are most hindus so utterly slavish towards their heroes?

Indians have heroes, who must be honoured, whether they do good or bad.
I think that Right/Wrong have a definitive value but most Indians act otherwise.  They believe that right/wrong does NOT have a definitive value. Instead, whatever their hero does is RIGHT and what he does not do, is WRONG. They find a person who has a raja image and then whatever that person does, becomes the definition of 'good'.
Let's take an example.
They select an MP/MLA, who obviously believes in the ideology of the party he belongs to. Suddenly, the MP/MLA switches to the political party with an opposite ideology. Common sense directs that the followers would ditch him because but that does not happen. They remain his committed followers whether he professes right wing politics or left wing politics.
Left wing or Right wing politics is not the follower cares about. He cares about his hero. Whatever he does, WHATEVER absolutely, is the definition of 'right'.
Not only can the hero change his political ideology, he can also commit murder/rape etc but won't lose even one follower. We have numerous examples in India, where people follow those convicted of such crimes.
The follower has no concept of right/wrong on his own. Whatever his hero does is right, what others do is wrong.
Observation of this phenomenon over about 15 years set me analysing possible reasons.  Soon, I traced it back to our (hindu) mythology.
In Hindu mythology, there are two events which should be a matter of great shame to anyone, but us.
One. Lord Rama threw out his pregnant wife to the woods, just because one of his lacs of praja cast a weak aspersion on her and that too in a private conversation. Now any man banishing his wife to jungles, so that he could win over a dhobi, must be an truly evil ( and power-loving) man. But Indians do not think so. Their logic is - Ram is our hero. If he banishes his wife, he is not to be blamed. However, others doing so ARE to be blamed. Whatever my hero does IS NOT TO BE QUESTIONED.
Second. Lord Shiva found his son, Ganesh, dead. Now, like all good Indians, he did not take the view that the guy had only these many days of life, so why lament. Take it in your stride. No way. He ordered to his army - find me the head of someone which I can implant on my dead son. The guys went around and found a cute little baby elephant. They (must have) told Lord Shiva, 'Sir, the baby is alive'. The Lord ( must have) ordered,' Don't argue. Who pays you - I or the elephant? Just cut of his head and bring to me, pronto'. The sychophants complied.
Now Indians don't find anything wrong with this act of Lord Shiva either. He is the Lord - whatever he does IS RIGHT.
That DNA has brought us today to - Whatever my PM/MP/MLA/filmstar/boss does is the definition of right.
Ours is not to question our heroes. Of course, we will question your heroes. After all, we are hindus.
Does that explain what we are today?
