The context of my answer is that you cannot include Abrahamic religions in your comments without separating the root, which is Judaism, to your claim.

You said: "It worked out well as a diverse society with one identity until monotheistic Abrahamic faiths and their adherents came as invaders and colonizers.".

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all ‘People of the Book’. Hindus scriptural texts are the Vedas.

Abrahamic faiths are monotheistic and against idol worship. While not all Hindus worship idols and multiple gods, these practices are not blasphemy or apostasy.

There is a binary criteria amongst Abrahamic religions about what constitutes membership.

The adherents of the Jewish faith did not come as invaders or colonizers but the other monotheists faiths came to evangelize and convert the native population as polytheism was an affront to their religious sensibilities.
