Absolutely Yes. Although all Hindu religious traditions originated in India or Bharat, which is the ancient name of India, Hindu sages and saints travelled outside of India to spread Hindu religious traditions and culture. Hence, there are Hindus in almost all countries of the world. However, the largest concentrations are in Asia. Due to invasions from outside by various Islamic Rulers, millions of Hindus were converted by force. Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan were all Hindu in the past. Except for Indonesia, they were all part of India as well. There are no formal ceremonies to become a Hindu unless one had adopted or were born into a Non Hindu religious tradition. The children of all Hindus are considered Hindus. Those who wish to embrace the Hindu way of life can do so by accepting any of the hundreds of religious traditions of Hindus. Religion is not organised amongst Hindus and will never be organized. Hindus do not believe in organized religion. That is the reason why Hindus have hundreds of religious traditions within it and may have more in the future. Some of the non Hindus who have accepted the Hindu way of life include Dr. David Frawley, Alfred Ford, Robert Oppenhiemer among millions of others. All Hindus believe that truth is one and sages may call it by various names. Truth and God is interchangeable for Hindus. Hindus believe in freedom of thought, expression and worship. Hindus also believe that the whole creation is devine and the whole world is a family. Hindus are against religious conversion. However, those interested in following a Hindu way of life are welcome any time any where.
