Hindusism Paper

In this world there are many religions and beliefs and with these come many actions and things that are done through there believes. One of the beliefs that I want to talk about is the Hindu religion. Hinduism is one of the oldest religions that is known from man and originated from India. Hinduism is also believed to be not just one of the biggest religions that is known but one of the top three following Christianity and Islam. With Hinduism being one of the biggest religions it has spread in many places, from India to places like Trinidad, Pakistan, Fiji, Tobago, and Guyana.
