Best Answer

All religions are counted as the indigenous religion in the area where they where started/created. Hinduism is the religion of India and is still in current practice. As such it is deemed the indigenous religion of India. In the same way, Judaism and Christianity are indigenous to Palestine, and Islam is indigenous to the Hejaz. Buddhism might be considered indigenous to Uttar Pradesh, but it is no longer much practised there.

How is Hinduism different than indigenous religions?

"Indigenous religion" is a contextual phrase. It does not mean anything without specifying a region to which the religion is indigenous to. As a result, a comparison is rather difficult. In comparison to locally developed faiths that were never evangelized such as African Folk Religions, Shenism, Aboriginal Australian and Polynesian religions, etc. Hinduism is not that much different at a basic level. However, Hinduism has holy texts and unifying themes across larger distances and in disparate populations.
