Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world, and some practitioners and scholars

refer to it as Sanātana Dharma, "the eternal tradition", or the "eternal way", beyond human
history.

Hinduism is the religion of the majority of people in India and Nepal. It also exists among
significant populations outside of the sub continent and has over 900 million adherents
worldwide. Unlike most other religions, Hinduism has no single founder, no single scripture,
and no commonly agreed set of teachings.

The birthplace of Hinduism is Indus River Valley which runs through northwest India into
Pakistan. The Indus Valley civilization, or "Harappan civilization" originated sometime around
4,500-5,000 B.C.E. and reached its zenith between 2300 to 2000 BC. The word "Hindu"
originates from the Sanskrit word for river, sindhu.

 Sindhu was a kingdom of ancient India mentioned in the epic Mahabharata and in the
Harivamsa Purana. It stretched along the banks of river Sindhu (Indus) in ancient India,
in modern Pakistan. ... "Sindhu" literally means "sea".
 Polytheism is belief in many gods — it's kind of the opposite of monotheism, which is
belief in one god. If you believe in polytheism, you have a bunch of gods to thank or
blame.

So when someone mentions about 330 million gods in Hindu Religion, it consists of the
person mentioning it and those listening plus all living and non-living beings. In fact, if the
ancient seers were to create the same symbolism today they will be counting it in billions.

Vedas teaches the way of living of Aryans Because Vedas write by the aryans . It help
archeologist to study of many old civilisations ,there culture ,way to live, ( like aryans ) . It also
help with time to time understand the administrations at that time.

Rigveda, (Sanskrit: “The Knowledge of Verses”) also spelled Ṛgveda, the oldest of the sacred
books of Hinduism, composed in an ancient form of Sanskrit about 1500 BCE, in what is now
the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. It consists of a collection of 1,028 poems grouped into
10 “circles” (mandalas). It is generally agreed that the first and last books were created later
than the middle books. The Rigveda was preserved orally before it was written down about
300 BCE. (See Veda).

India's caste system is a social structure that divides different groups into ranked categories.
Members of “higher” castes have a greater social status than individuals of a “lower” caste.
