How did Aryan religion contribute to class differences in India? Religious rituals usually involved holding large parties, and only wealthy people could afford the parties.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
