Those gods are three distinct entities representing three different facets of the religion. Saying that it's monotheism is lame, as they're recognized to have their own personalities and actions that worshipers attribute to them.
The Holy Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, are three different manifestations of the same entity. The Hindus believe in three completely different beings in and of themselves, in which there is one manifestation concerning each God, not the same entity represented in three forms (as per Christianity).
