The question of whether the character of abraham was influenced by the character of brahma is just that, and only that. Yes, we have reason to think that it has been. You can do the research yourself, or stop at whatever point you find convenient. Your ideas about unreliable sources are absurd, and I still have no idea whatever it is you think that you're arguing against.
Key word. I'm ok with that.

Problem is that he hasn't backed this idea up yet. He can go on forever asserting this and that, but repeated assertions no matter how confident does not magically become evidence.
Note he's yet to point to any scholarly work on the matter that is specifically being discussed. He keeps alluding to some mysterious work out there, and talking in generalities, that's about it.
Also, "east" in Genesis isn't referring to India or anything close to that, nor is the verse suggesting what Gae and the OP are suggesting.
Here's some commentaries on Genesis 25:6
