hindus are those who believe and follow the Hinduism principles and live life according to the instructions given in Vedas and Upanishidas.
The literature Ramayana was written by Valmiki, on the basis of life of Lord Rama. All the literatures clearly shows the worshipping of Gods as per hindu rituals.

Dear Sir GN, i appreciate for your kindness to reply me. thank you. "Hinduism principles and live life according to the instructions given in Vedas and Upanishidas." this is your statement.
then Vedhas say there is only one god. vedhas say god has no image vedhas say god is unique power.
then you are not following vedhas.
Valmiki asks to Narada to tell about a man who possesses all good qualities. and Narada says Rama is the MAN and describs aout him and based on his description valmiki writes ramayana. has any of them said Rama is god? no both of them said Rama is Man. then you are not liviing according to ramayana.

Dear Shajit Ali,
I looks like you have just read few translation and hence have incorrect idea. You observation that there is only one God is right. God has no image - give the sanskrit version because english translation of the same might be incorrect.
We call same God by various names Rama, Krisha etc. Note the names are his quality. Just like a person who carries/delivers mail, we refer to such person as Postman, similarly we refer to God by qualities. When we say Vishnu - meaning of Vishnu - one who is both inside and outside (and also who is everywhere) Rama means - one who has perfect knowledge and bliss - these are qualities of God and hence we call him thus. If Allah is omnipresent, then the sanskrit word for it is Vishnu - Omnipresent. Isn't Allah omnipresent?

It is only the religions of the middle-east that are restricting individualism,freedom of thought,free speech,right to be critical of a religious dogma ,etc. Religions of the East such as Hinduism,Budhism,Jainism,Shintoism,etc,do not have such problems since they are tolerant,open to criticism/discussions,not imposing any dogma upon pain of death,they don't mind atheism,as the underlying principle in them is not blind faith
