Delhi Syndrome (noun):
A spiritual-psychological disorder marked by delusions of grandeur, in which individuals or groups (notably DHWA and DHCF) believe they possess divine and institutional authority over Delhi, the Hmar tribe, and the Hmar churches worldwide. Common symptoms include centralized control disguised as fellowship, allergic reactions to biblical doctrine and accountability, and compulsive tendencies toward spiritual dominance. Often mistaken for leadership, this syndrome is, in truth, a form of unchecked ecclesiastical narcissism.
