I am going to start by copying my post from the ISKCON thread.
Quick summary of how new cults emerge from Hinduism, with the potential to break apart from mainstream Hinduism and possibly cause havoc like former splinter groups like Buddhism, Sikhism and Arya Samaj.
The process of breaking apart first starts as a "reform movement", supposedly to fix some problems in Hinduism.
Next, it undergoes the process of monotheization, where the scoudrels claim their religion is also monotheistic like Xtianity and Islam. And they try to distance themselves from Hinduism. This involves attacks on traditional Vaidika Dharma by calling it a "corrupt Brahmanical order". This is a classic semitic tactic.
Next the cult proceeds to prove to how his sect is actually the orignal "pure" Vaidika religion before it was "corrupted" by Brahmanas.
Then the next generation of converts having grown up in the new nonsense sect starts claiming itself as a separate religion.
Finally, many generations down the line the descendants no longer find satisfaction in their new religion and become prey to predatory religions like Islam and Xtianity.
This is what is happening to Sikhs living in the west who are converting to Xtianity or Islam.
The same thing happened in Korea, where Buddhism first stealthily crept in and destroyed the native Korean religion. Now the place has been overrun by missionaries and has become a Christian majority nation.
