Patna developed uplifting, inclusive Hindu school (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vedanta

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hindu school' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'patna developed uplifting inclusive' is the wordplay.
'inclusive' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen this in other clues).
'uplifting' is a reversal indicator.
'atnadev' is hidden within 'patna developed'.
'atnadev' reversed gives 'VEDANTA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vedanta that I've seen before include "particular philosophy" , "Hindu philosophy" .)
