What if alongside Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism a non-pantheistic aniconic Monotheistic Indian religion called Brahmanism was developed in the Post-Vedic era worshipping Brahman as the one personal and supreme transcendent God and surviving to the present?
While this Brahmanism religion would share similarities to other Indian / Dharmic religions and other cultural aspects albeit in a non-pantheistic monotheistic context, differences would include aniconism, anti-asceticism (similar to Zoroastrianism where fasting and mortification are forbidden) as well as a more liberal semi-vegetarian Pesco-pollo diet at minimum (poultry and fish/seafood are permitted) though also permitted Jhatka (quick death) meat for other Brahmanist sects.
How would such a faith likely fare in comparison to other Indian religions (without potentially displacing them completely) as well as interact later on with other non-Indian belief systems?
