Hinduism is the name given by britisher to those people who follow vedas and agamas and accept baghavdgita and Ramayana as Sacred text, There is nothing called Hinduism as such,
As you can see how many people follow this religion is very very few. How many people know sanskrit or studied vedas and followed all the religious duties.
Now a days Hinduism exist only in theory and not in practice.
Those who call themselves as hindus and form a group speak about thier rights, basically are groupism

Hey buddy, you are wrong.
Hindu name came from Arabic/Persian culture. They called people who lived beyond Sindhu river, 'Hindus'. Probably Greeks have their contributions too. They didn't realize at the time, that people who lived beyond Sindhu river had very different cultural and linguistic traditions.
