1st Point=They believe in Reincarnation and salvation of the soul. So, karma or commitment to ones own duty is prescribed in Hinduism.

2nd Point= There are many forms of God in Hinduism.

3rd Point= Hinduism is a way of life. There are visions, visionaries, prescriptions, discussions, etc,. But nobody is compelled to follow a particular way of life or a particular belief about God except that GOD exists. It is strictly not a religion like Islam or Christianity, which claim supremacy over other religions and where people are expected to fall in line to propagate the religion. There are many religious sects in Hinduism and are called matham (meaning religion!).

4th Point=If Hinduism is seen as a separate religion, then probably it is the oldest religion of the world.

5th Point=The Hindus never try to convert people following other religions into Hinduism. Hinduism is there in its full glory for people who are interested, to understand it and to follow. There are great literatures like Bible in Christianity or Koran in Islam (no comparison is intended however here) in Hinduism. But none is singularly prescribed to be followed. There are the four Vedhas to start with and the sayings of great seers like relatively contemporary Swamy Vivekananda.
