Hinduism
Hinduism is one of the oldest living religions in the world,
having begun in around 1,500 BCE, but tracing some of its roots
to at least
2,500 BCE. Hinduism is based on a number of religious texts including the four
Vedas, the eighteen Puranas, and the epic poems Mahabharata and Ramayana.
There are believed to be around 1 billion adherents of Hinduism
(making it the third-largest organized religion after Christianity and Islam),
of whom
around 890 million live in
India.
Significant populations of Hindus are also found in
Nepal,
Sri Lanka,
and in Bali,
Indonesia.
Additionally, Hindu populations are also found found in those
countries containing Indian diaspora such as
the United Kingdom,
Canada and
the
United States of America.
