Hinduism is considered polytheistic because it acknowledges multiple deities, each representing different aspects of the divine.

How do you choose one monotheistic religion when there are several with equal validity and what makes that one true and all others false?

First of all, there is no reason you must choose a monotheistic religion, since there is nothing that makes monotheistic religions inherently superior to polytheistic religions such as Hinduism or some forms of Buddhism. You could, if you wish, broaden your research. Each of the Abrahmic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) is monotheistic, as are Zoroastrianism, Sikhism and others. And each claims to be the true religion. The validity of each monotheistic religion, in fact of all religions, is a matter of faith, and faith alone. In spite of earnest protestations, there is no available evidence to show that one such religion is more true than any of the others. Some say that all are false. You should simply choose a religion that you feel comfortable with, but you will never be able to know whether that was the most 'true' choice.
