Hinduism is vast. There are many schools, sets, sampradayas, ranging from pure dualism to pure monism. There are many theories as to history.

To present any one of these theories as fact, and to attempt to speak for all Hindus in this way just shows an ethnocentric or sect-centric viewpoint, and does a disfavour to the reader, but only if the reader can't see the broader picture ... as above. Views differ, we're vast. That isn't about to change anytime soon.

It is wiser, in my opinion, to view a differing view as different, not as 'wrong'.
