The Hindus

"The Hindus" is a term that generally refers to followers of Hinduism, one of the world's oldest religions, originating in the Indian subcontinent. Hinduism encompasses a diverse range of beliefs, practices, and philosophies, with a rich tapestry of rituals, festivals, and scriptures, such as the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita. Central concepts include dharma (duty/righteousness), karma (action and its consequences), and moksha (liberation from the cycle of rebirth). Hindu worship often involves rituals in homes and temples, reverence for a multitude of deities, and a connection to traditions that vary widely across regions and communities.
