Pardon me - but pure BS.
It takes a Jesus, Mohammed or similar proselytizing savant to advance both religion and political thought.
Outside of the subcontinent Hinduism is a cult. Within the subcontinent it is an emotional and social crutch.
That is why it has never contributed to civilizational security.
And sorry to say - I am no expert on the Upanishads or the Gita. That would take a lifetime of devotion.

Is no BS .Philosophy is self-conscience,mean intelectual life.
Why do you think christians target unreach tribal people? Because they dont pose a intelectual chalange and can be easy manipulated.
If all people was philosophers then christians have to work very hard to win any convert at all. But very few people are.
And freedom ?more likely the spiritual satisfaction that a religion can give; thats why sufi islam can win more converts then clasic islam beacuse ofer more a inner spirituality.
From philosophical point of view christians and muslims have also over 90% of hindu philosophy meaning that abrahamic philosophers are almost as good as hindu philosophers and thats enough to convert 95% of world population.
In the detail view,in deepness,in complexity,in clarity ,in the sistematic aproach,in the beauty of ideatic structure,hindu philosophers have an advance .
What hindu philosophers dont have is an united army.
