In my book, The Secret of Our Success, I make the case that languages, actually have, even in historical time, gotten more complex, added new tenses, added new grammatical tools, vastly increased the repertoire of vocabularies, gotten more phonemes, and all kinds of things that go along with the rise of complexity. So languages are really just like other domains of culture—like tools—in that they are cumulative and depend on the size and inter-connectedness of populations. - Joe Henrich
Yes, it is a good test of the ‘collective brain’ idea. If the collective brain idea is right, when we look back historically on this period, the early 21st century, we should see a massive increase in rates of innovation because of all the interaction the new communication technology is permitting. https://fivebooks.com/best-books/joe-henrich-cultural-evolution/
Years ago, there use to be central concept in Judiciary while passing judgments - Justiciable. But the activist judges do not know such boundaries. Whether their judgments are justiciable or not, whether Admin is capable or not, they pass Judgments.
What does this tell you?
Great! Just read another nice word "sociability"

In long-term battles, it is Abrahamic binarism that wins, for it allows focus on one central principle, and rejects all nuances. If Hindus want to win this war for control of their religious spaces, they have to adopt the same binarism+clarity of thought

An astronomical phenomenon related to Pleiades is encoded through the story of Skanda / Kārtikēya. He is the son of Shiva and a human woman (Pārvati), who is nourished by the 7 Matrikas. He heralded the summer solstice for harvest.
The exact same story for Dionysus/Bacchus ! https://t.co/0qAg188ofg

Of course, the name Bacchus is related to the Sanskrit name of a deity : Bhaga. The Bhaga who gave the name Bhāgirathi for the Ganges. And the word Bhagavān, used to describe Vishṇu today.
Bhaga is the lord of fortune, for celebrating the harvest, since far earlier Vedic times.
At some point, Bacchus (Bhaga) got associated with the phenomenon related to Kārtikēya/Skanda. The Greeks probably borrowed this indirectly from the Egyptians. However, disaster happened due to the precession: Pleiades stopped being visible in the northern hemisphere in summer.

#_K_G_ | @KanchanGupta : I reiterate my unambiguous support for Abhijit. As a free speech absolutist, I find his incarceration an abominable assault on freedom & a denial of liberty. Democracy has once again been wounded by Abhijit's arrest

#_A_P_ | @Abhina_Prakash : Absolute liberty & absolute freedom of expression are a route to anarchy. My contention is that such executive excesses are also a route to anarchy and ultimately cause collapse of the system | #_Abhijit_Iyer_Mitra_

India is a populous country and it's easy to gather a crowd. If the occasion is religious then large congregations are spontaneous with immense scope for commerce plus content for media. Apart from economics deriving political benefit has also become mainstream. RSS has monopoly.

Any political player is prone to seek advantage from all kinds of situations but keeping a watch on the health of Democracy is also an additional responsibility. Now that RSS is part of the ruling dispensation this particular function needs to be addressed by some astute persons.

India comprises of multiple nations and myriad cultures. Most people are yet to be modern in their attitude and aspirations. Gender stereotypes are further strengthened through culture, religion, and tradition. Courts are doing a bit to dismantle their hold and must be supported.
