The origin of ideas etc is irrelevant, what you do now how you adopt is more important.
Indian civilization is a syncretism. We should feel good about it. It is multi racial, multi ethnic, multi language...but still 100% plural and unique.
The biggest melting pot in the world -of various other people, now extinct.
The base is off course not these idol businesses 😀
But God less, Deity less culture of Dharma, Karma, Yoga and Tantra.
5000 years from now, the world may forget Jesus of Nazareth, but Indians will remember him, as a deity, integrated within the rest of deities of "Indian" pantheon.
Indian geography is such. A protected pocket of riches, a world by itself.
