Get the hamdullah mug.A Hindu is someone who follows the Hindu religion. It is not to be confused with someone who speaks Hindi, a language. Us Hindus have something like a trinity, with Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Shiva the Destroyer(of evil). Some Hindus are vegetarians, though some eat meat. We are vegetarians because we believe in the innate goodness of EVERY living being. Hindus do fight in wars, because we try to protect Dharma, honor and goodness, and we only fight when we know the other is evil.We are ready to fight even our own brothers for Dharma. We have many gods, but we believe in one universal God, and we pray for all our different gods for different things, but we are really just praying to God. And as for those dummies who trash Hinduism, don't believe them. I'm not being a whiny dweeb here, OK, just sticking up for my religion. What would you do if some person just started insulting your thoughts and beliefs? And about those Hindu extremists, WE DO NOT, AT ALL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PROMOTE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR. These people are unopen, cruel zeolots who have ultimately failed their religion. But we do believe in forgivness, to some extent, but only if you are truly sorry for your actions, completely understand what you did and why it was bad, and will do anything to make it better. And, just for the record, we don't drink cow pee!!!!! We don't smell like curry(because that's just like saying Americans smell like hamburgers) and anyways, not all Hindus are Indian, but a high majority are. So that's basically Hinduism!
Non-Hindu: Hey, you don't smell like cow pee! But you do drink it right?
Hindu: Ewwww of course not! Who told you that?
Non-Hindu: Some weirdo on UrbanDictionary.
Hindu: Well please don't believe hiim!
Hindu: Ewwww of course not! Who told you that?

Get the Hindu mug.The word Hindu first appeared in the Old Persian language and most likely was derived from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, the historic local appellation for the Indus River in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. The usage of the word Hindu was further popularized by the Arabic term al-Hind referring to the land of the people who live across river Indus.
Hinduism is the predominant and indigenous religious tradition of South Asia. Hinduism is often referred to as Sanātana Dharma (a Sanskrit phrase meaning "the eternal law") by its adherents. Generic "types" of Hinduism that attempt to accommodate a variety of complex views span folk and Vedic Hinduism to bhakti tradition, as in Vaishnavism. Hinduism also includes yogic traditions and a wide spectrum of "daily morality" based on the notion of karma and societal norms such as Hindu marriage customs.
Hinduism is formed of diverse traditions and has no single founder. Among its roots is the historical Vedic religion of Iron Age India, and as such Hinduism is often called the "oldest living religion" or the "oldest living major tradition".
Demographically, Hinduism is the world's third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam, with approximately one billion adherents, of whom approximately 828 million live in the Republic of India. Other significant populations are found in Nepal (23 million), Bangladesh (14 million) and the Indonesian island of Bali (3.3 million).
