Certainly, and many people in India despise 2). As Aroup Chatterjee
explains, they consider the myth of the European woman who teaches the
ignorant Indian natives how to care for each other a quite racist one,
especially when the gulf between what MT claimed she had done and what she
really did was so large.
Given that she was awarded India's highest civilian honor, it must be
the case that this view is far from universal, given also that the
Indian government has essentially no Christian representatives.
As far as I can determine, most people disagree with you, both in India
and elsewhere, but there are a vocal minority who agree with you. We
should mention this fact, but not publish or summarize their treatises
at length. "Why Mother Theresa is a bad person: evidence" does not
belong here any more than "Evidence the Catholic Church was right to
beatify The Blessed Mother Theresa" does. At most we should summarize
very (very!) briefly all these arguments, and point people to the
various POV books published by pro- and anti-partisans if they want to
read a more detailed account with details we cannot verify.
