All indians living in this country all Hindu only. Those who are all christian or Muslim now were Hindu before few generations. Nobody can refuse this truth and all are Hindu only. So basic of all indians are Hindu only.

Dear Amar, What you told is Truth..but it doesnt Hurt. What you mentioned about hinduism is true, but not complete. The more you try to know what hinduism is, the more you will realize that hinduism is more than a religion, it is the way the people of this land have lived their lives...Its a way of the life of indians.
Myth, folklore and Stories are a part of lifes of peoples...of Every culture, not Just Indian/Hindus.

Hi Amar For that matter,HInduism did not have any name to begin with since it was the only dharma that was practiced from time immemorial...
If you talk about puranas then you may call it as stories etc...But Upanishads,Yogic scriptures, advaitic texts etc are the works of great saints which are gaining value even amoung christian countries.
And, not meaning to hurt you, many of 0ther middle eastern religions have only stories / social code of conduct much like puranas in hinduism...
So, it will only show your lack of knowledge if you intrepret hinduism as only collection of stories...
Having said that, many indians always understand value of anything only if its recognized by the westesners. So even for their own religion, possibly they will understand as and when west takes it up (It has started with Yoga) and practices it...
