Can you see my response to Mohit? It suggests that the Sanatani movement won't make major headway since it is counter to the core of Hinduism, to be open to acceptance of other views.
By "it" you mean the movement? You're in a better position than I to assess that, but I'd guess a political tool, in which case, it will shift a few people in that direction, but unlikely to make major inroads in changing Hinduism. But that's me talking from afar.
As an outsider who visits India several times a year, I see changes every time, but they are more economic, such as increasing consumerism. I don't sense the "Hindutva" stuff that newspapers often talk about.
This acceptance of the other, which your AI analysis highlights as a key feature of Hinduism (among other religions), is exactly what the Hindu Right Wing wants to alter. Along with giving doctrinal supremacy to one text, the Gita.
With the Sanatani movement taking shape and power you may have to revaluate

Do you think it is meant to be a movement it’s just a political tool.

Democracy is in retreat in South Asia
Afghanistan , Srilanka , Bangladesh and Nepal
Just imagine how easily the street takes over and topples govts and buries democracy.
What now. ?
India is safe or is it. ?
What is the root cause ?
Extreme poverty
No light at the end of a never ending tunnel spiraling downwards
Lack of jobs or is available the salaries are a pittance
The ever widening gap between the rich and the poor.
The corruption
The petty politicians
The leaders more concerned about their photographs on hoardings
The police brutality and corrupt
Employment through contractors
No housing for the poor
No food
Basic needs available
But at a price most can’t afford
Medical assurance
Nil
Unemployment benefits Nil
Taxes back breaking

And Republic. To know what is on the anvil.

Indeed. It seems that such an endeavor is likely to fail.
On the other hand, it is much easier to defend a view that is not inclusive to begin with, and one that forbids acceptance of other views, isn't it?
Based on this logic, I would expect Hinduism to remain more stable in its practice.
One can only hope so.
