Hinduism is an Indian Dharma, or a way of life, widely practiced in South Asia. It has been called the oldest religion in the world, many practitioners and scholars refer to it as Sanātana Dharma, "the eternal tradition," or the "eternal way," beyond human history. Scholars regard Hinduism as a fusion or synthesis of various Indian cultures and traditions, with diverse roots and no founder. This "Hindu synthesis" started to develop between 500 BCE and 300 CE, following the Vedic period (1500 BCE to 500 BCE).
•it originated on the Indian subcontinent with foundations in the Vedic civilization, but has no known founder, being itself a conglomerate of diverse beliefss and traditions.
•world's oldest living religion and tradition.

The world's third largest religion, Hinduism has no specific origin. It is polytheistic, characterized by wrathful gods, based around a caste system and primarily practiced in India. Hindus believe that the levels in this caste system are reflective of actions in previous lives, and that once a person reaches untoucheable status they may then be able to attain a union with god.

Hinduism refers to a rich cumulative tradition of texts and practices, some of which date to the 2nd millennium BCE or possibly earlier. If the Indus valley civilization (3rd–2nd millennium BCE) was the earliest source of these traditions, as some scholars hold, then Hinduism is the oldest living religion on Earth. Its many sacred texts in Sanskrit and vernacular languages served as a vehicle for spreading the religion to other parts of the world, though ritual and the visual and performing arts also played a significant role in its transmission.
