I don't think you can win in an argument between the BKs and another religious view. I don't think you can even influence them an inch. BKism is boiled down to a tiny little nutshell, there's no other space left inside it for other ideas, and then wrapped up in a hard protective coating that stops any other ideas getting in.
Only they know the truth, everyone else is deluded, all other religions are merely a partial and incorrect memory of theirs. This is the remarkable claim they make.
I don't think if you know this, how long were you involved with the BKs, SI? The BKs claim all other religions are partial and incorrect memories of their religion from 5,000 years when time and space last repeated identically. That is what BKs think and so when you start to discuss, they just switch off waiting for a moment to stick some of their religion back in you ... to correct you. Only they have a direct connection to god and all his wisdom, you see.
Put plainly, if you are not a BK, you are wrong. Basically everything you think and believe if wrong. Only their Dadis are more correct them they are. It's back to that hierarchy of rightness thing again.
But, please, I don't want to interrupt Pink Panther's simple question to Shivsena with equally unprovable "Hindu" theory ... (I use the term "Hindu" lightly in this context to mean the wisdom you mentioned which come out of India. I appreciate you might consider it Universal or Absolute).
Bloody hell, Pink Panther ... don't you get it by now?
To the Sindhis the questions were not, "What is Truth?" and "What is Absolute Truth?" ... they were, "How much money is there is talk about Truth?" and "How much of the market of Truth can we monopolise, and how?".
We may have been suckered in my our sincere desire to search for philosophical truths, they were and still are running a business. A business of Ideas, hence ... "The Knowledge™ is not just Truth, not just Absolute Truth ... but Global Supreme Absolute Truth!!!!"
"... And not 16,108 ... not 108 ... but only 8 special souls will get that! You too could be one of those special 8 souls if only you surrendered to us your mind, body and wealth!" (Spoken like a true Karachi bazaar barrow boy).
There's no profit in philosophising. None whatsoever. Indeed, there's only the risk of loss. Leave it to someone else and then asset strip all the good bits they come up with. That's the BK way.
Any ... back to Shivsena and discussing 'Truth' and the new, improved 'Absolute Truth'.
