reformist denominations such as the arya samaj are often fundamentalist in their approach. the arya samaj regards the vedas as infallible, revealed scripture, and rejects what it regards as non-vedic innovations in sanatani hinduism. these non-vedic additions included inherited caste, the position of brahmins as a revered group, idol-worship, and the addition of thousands of deities to the sanatani hindu pantheon.
