They built on <s>doxologies (was that the correct term?)</s> doxographies provided by Brahmins who were well-trained and educated in Vedanta, including this integration. Vivekananda also built on this foundation; he did not just "invent" some modern Hinduism. Even his emphasis on meditation was already present before him in integrations of Vedanta and Yoga.

Others should feel free to chip in (some of book is online I think). Perhaps also a "background" section (explaining the context of Indological trends to assert the colonial origin of 'hinduism') could be useful.
