Many things went wrong with SANAATANA DHARMA, which was the way life of ancient India.
Hinduism is a relatively new name given by people residing the other side of Sindhu river to the Sanaata Dharma, being followed by the people residing in ancient India.
Hence, let us stick to the original name SANAATANA DHARMA.
-----------------
This original name SANAATANA DHARMA can be found in Oldest Epic Srimad Ramayana.
कृते च प्रतिकर्तव्यमेष धर्मः सनातनः |
सोऽयं तत्प्रतिकारार्थी त्वत्तः संमानमर्हति || (Sundara Kanda 1st Sarga 114th Sloka)
"When a service is done, a return service needs to be rendered. This is an ancient tradition. Such this ocean who wants to do a return service to the Raghu dynasty, is suitable for respect by you."
-----------------------------
Let us consider the following points:
1. Till Mahabharata period, i.e, around 3102 B.C., the Gods from Vedic Pantheon were worshiped.
Lord Brahma is the Ruler of of all Worlds. - ब्रह्मा लोकाधिपो यथा (Srimad Ramayana, Bala Kanda). Indra's status was held next to him.
The Who is Who of Kings of Mahabharata Era, except a few, fought and got eliminated in the Mahabharata war. After the Rule of Pandavas that lasted for 36 years, no strong administration, directing the people in General in adhering to Vedic Way of life, in the entire country was in place. This lead to decadence in Human values and grouping among various petty rulers.
Dominant rulers aided by selfish scholars created new Gods and started created own groups.
(i) As a result, Vishnu, who was one among 33 Gods, had been elevated to the status of God of Gods.
(ii) Shiva could not found in Vedic Pantheon. The Vedic God Rudra's structure, appearance, status,etc, were altered and named Shiva, and was elevated to the staus of MAHAADEVA.
(iii) No mention can be found about Shakti or Rajarajeswari in Vedic Pantheon. Even Sri Krishna did not mention about her in his Bhagavad Gita.
(iv) The present day prominent God, Ganapati did not find place in Vedic Pantheon.
In order to elevate Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti , naturally the status of Lord Brahma has to be degraded, without which Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti cannot be marketed as God/ of Gods.
So all the Puranas were written inventing stories that show Lord Brahma in bad light and elevate Vishnu, Shiva, Shakti.
Same is the case with Indra. He was degraded from the status of पुरु हूतस्य(Chief Invitee in Vedic rituals) - Srimad Ramayana, Aranya Kanda - to the status of a low level God. Vishnu was described in Puranas asपुरु हूतस्य.
------
a) In this process, Vishnu was made the father of Lord Brahma!
b) The original Vedic Story of Prajapati (Brahma?) taking the shape big fish and saving the Manu was rewritten to Vishnu's incarnation.
c) The original story of Lord Brahma taking the shape of Boar and bringing out Earth from water, was rewritten to vishnu's incarnation.
d) Parasurama, Rama and Krishna were not the incarnations of Vishnu.
----------------
What a strategy! It worked excellently. Hats off to those selfish scholars!
Everybody forgot the original status of Lord Brahma and Indra.

2) The myth of Aryan Invasion
Many present day scholars proved that this theory is MYTH. Still our universities teach us this fabricated/ill-conceived MYTH.
Has anybody tried to study Srimad Ramayana, original Text?
In many areas, the word ARYA was used to indicate a noble personality but not a sect.
3) Out Indian scholars with western bent of mind, have no patience, and interest to look into the EPICS, Vedic Literature with an independent thinking.
4. No self pride. Demeaning our own literature.
5. New/prejudiced practices were introduced in contravention to the Vedic way of life.
