It is clear that the Judaic Monotheist prophet timeline is revisionist history and that AIT is the same for India.
AIT is a natural consequence of a religious culture coming into contact with a heathen culture and needing to mold an understanding of that heathen culture as a degraded and degenerated form of religion (ie caste system is an ad hoc theological "system" needed to explain the tyranny of the priests and so on).
Judaism is an initial transformation, the birthing moment of monotheism itself. Going by parallel, the thousand year timeline of monotheist prophets fighting their errant polytheist cousins is a revisionist effort necessitated by the colonial need to problematize the native canaan culture as immoral (war propaganda). This entire revisionist history originated out of the imperative to theologize or normatize in a colonial setting.
