Wrong question.

The question should be this:

What does it mean when Christians pray, putting their hands together like Hindus do?

The reason for the rephrasing of the question is simple: which came first, Hinduism or Christianity.

We know that Christianity has existed for less than 2000 years; that much is an established and incontrovertible fact.

Research into the civilizations of the Indian subcontinent (the Indus valley, e.g. Harappan, etc) indicates that although we cannot be certain that Hinduism is more than 2000 years older than Christianity, it certainly predates it by many centuries.
