truggle, Hindus won and restored/rebuilt their temple and got rid of the Buddhist intrusions."

Where's the data in those statements to gainsay my interpretation of the same?

Shankara was completely illogical comparably whit Buddha. He said that Brahman is Sat-Cit-Ananda(which are attributes) than he completely contradict his first statement saying that Brahman has no attributes.

Again Shankara claim that Atman has no attributes,thing that made Atman to be the same thing whit buddhistic Non-Atman.



Also ,in 12-13 century ,from Shankara teachings, appear monotheistic religions propagated by Ramanuja and Madhva.They claim an Absolute personal God just like christians or muslims,a God that is infinitely above all other gods(making them the christian equivalent of angels).They are named Dvaita Vedanta(opposite to Shankara's Advaita Vedanta).From Dvaita Vedanta appear monotheistic religions like ramanadi,gaudya,iskcon(harekrsna),baps,shaiva siddhanta,ganapati monotheism(today mostly extinct) and other 5-6 monotheistic sects.

We can say that Shankara open the road to monotheism in hindu religion.
