<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The evidence from Indiaâs earliest literary traditions reveals that Hinduism is a corruption of true religion. Though for most of its existence Hinduism has been an extremely pluralistic religionâbeing influenced by several cultures originally, and later by surrounding religions (Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity)âit appears to have grown out of monotheism. The renowned Sanskritist of Oxford, Max Müller, wrote: âThere is a monotheism that precedes the polytheism of the Veda; and even in the invocations of the innumerable gods the remembrance of a God, one and infinite, breaks through the mist of idolatrous phraseology like the blue sky that is hidden by passing cloudsâ (as quoted in Zwemer, p. 87).
