Fascinating essay. One question, one observation: 1. Hinduism has agricultural gods (Krishna's brother is called Halayudha, w/ plow as a weapon), is there a god who is an horticulturalist/hoe-wielder? 2. unlike African ones, Kerala's matrilineal societies were plow cultures.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1164941895711117312 …

You maybe right in that matrilineal families in Kerala often had a property coming down a woman's line but the woman's brother often ran the affairs outside. A sort of sibling power-sharing arrangement where the exact ratio of control b/w the two varied but was formally blessed.
