No While many practising Hindus may show Christian principles, because they do not follow Jesus Christ, they cannot be classed as Christian. But then again, I can think of no major world religion that does not share most or all of the major Christian principles.
No they are not.

Hinduism is often referred to as Sanātana Dharma, a Sanskrit phrase meaning "the eternal law", by its practitioners. Hindu beliefs vary widely, with concepts of God and/or gods ranging from Panentheism, pantheism, monotheism, polytheism, with Vishnu and Shiva being the most popular deities. Other characteristics include a belief in reincarnation and karma, as well as a personal deity or dharma. Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus as presented in the New Testament. To Christians, Jesus Christ is a teacher, the model of a virtuous life, the revealer of God, as well as an incarnation of God, and most importantly the savior of humanity who suffered, died, and was resurrected to bring about salvation from sin. Christians maintain that Jesus ascended into heaven, and most denominations teach that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead, granting everlasting life to his followers. Christians call the message of Jesus Christ the Gospel ("good news") and hence label the written accounts of his ministry as gospels.
Christianity and Hinduism are two different religion. there are certain interesting parallels however. While Christianity is based on the Teachings of Jesus Christ, a Jew The Hindu religion also has master that introduced Buddhism to become one of the great philosophy's.
