GuptaRati,
I concur with you on DS and its operations. You cite Guyana's case and, as I am sure you know, the same applies to pretty much all of South America, and many other regions of the world. I can be persuaded about DS's influence on the BKs if you show evidence, even if circumstantial.
Remember, BKs struggled for a very long time - from 1936 to at least 1985 - to become a brand even in India. They became a brand only after 2000. Until then they were shunned in India and, outside India, many non-Indians have taken U turns.
DS is driven in part by the Church, and its underpinnings lie in Christian theology and beliefs, the mainstay of which is that it is the White man's burden to civilize and own the rest. That makes it harder for DS to work with groups who have a different theology, although it is not totally out of the question because financial interests tend to trump everything else.
