The Vedas are eternal. So what history can there be? Hinduism, unlike Christianity, does not base itself on particular historic events - it is Sanatan Dharma.

I agree. But thats relevant only for a scholar or a person interested in the secular side, not a practicing Christian. Similarly, the dating of the vedas and the sequence of Devas is irrelevant and false to a Hindu because for him the Vedas are timeless divine scriptures. the wages of...

But why should things come to such a pass that we have to learn about Hinduism from Wikipedia?? Even if you dont know Sanskrit, there are very good books on the various scriptures written by learned practicing Hindus themselves.

Religion is all to do with faith. So from a reading of plain facts I claim that the Bible is just a c$ck and bull horror story about walking Zombies. You want to value that over a christian theological interpretation?

Cant really say that. The dating of Indian history is all mixed up, basically anchored in Horodotus's visit to Vikramaditya's court. Who knows which Vikramaditya that was as in Ancient India many kings named themselves Vikramaditya. Advaita, in any case, is substantially different but yes...
