Some postcolonial theorists argue that the idea of a single system of belief known as Hinduism is a creation of nineteenthcentury British imperialists Andrew J Nicholson introduces another perspective although a unified Hindu identity is not as ancient as some Hindus claim it has its roots in innovations within South Asian philosophy from the fourteenth to seventeenth centuries During this time thinkers treated the philosophies of Vedanta Samkhya and Yoga along with the worshippers of Visnu Siva and Sakti as belonging to a single system of belief and practice Instead of seeing such groups as separate and contradictory they reenvisioned them as separate rivers leading to the ocean of Brahman the ultimate realityDrawing on the writings of philosophers from late medieval and early modern traditions including Vijnanabhiksu Madhava and Madhusudana Sarasvati Nicholson shows how influential thinkers portrayed Vedanta philosophy as the ultimate unifier of diverse belief systems This project paved the way for the work of later Hindu reformers such as Vivekananda Radhakrishnan and Gandhi whose teachings promoted the notion that all world religions belong to a single spiritual unity In his study Nicholson also critiques the way in which Eurocentric conceptslike monism and dualism idealism and realism theism and atheism and orthodoxy and heterodoxyhave come to dominate modern discourses on Indian philosophy
