The term "Hinduism" was coined by British colonialists in the 19th century to categorize the diverse religious practices and philosophies of the Indian subcontinent. It was not used by practitioners of the religion themselves, who refer to their faith in various ways, such as Sanatana Dharma. The term helped to create a distinct identity for the multitude of beliefs and traditions that existed in India.
