^^^ good post Saar.
Each generation, each epoch has the right, even the obligation, to question the precepts of the past constructively, in order to assure their relevance and ensure that they are updated as needed.
Instead of blind obeisance to the past prophets or texts leading to immobilisme and eventually to obscurantism, our Indic or should I say dharmic model is dynamic but anchored to realities of the times and even places. This is what makes it eternally relevant ie sanatana.
Then one may ask why isn't our model universalist? But it is, for those who can see the wisdom behind a pithy statement like "change is the only constant". For those who can't get it, "ignorance is bliss"![:mrgreen:]( "Mr. Green")
