Hinduism is the oldest Non-Semitic Religion of the world. It has a vast History as
well. The word “Hinduism” itself has a very deep history .Many Historian says that
Hinduism word was used in the old days for such people who lived and cultivated
their lands alongside the Indus River. Few are of the view that Persian at first used
the word “Hinduism”. In India more than 80% of the people are connected with this
religion. Besides this, they also live as a part of community in Nepal, Pakistan,
Indonesia, and Sri Lanka etc.
Historically, Hinduism is not a preaching religion like Islam and Christianity
although now a day they have started to open some center for this purpose but still
they need a lot of work.
On the other hand, we can call it a Public religion because most of the followers are
trying to some extent to follow this religion in public. This Paper will not only
describe the meaning of word “Hinduism” but will also draw light on the history of
this religion.
