In the book The Best Guide To Eastern Philosoph & Religion By Diane Morgan she describes Hinduism with the following list.

*Hinduism is unique among the major religions of the World.

*It has no founder.

*It has no dogma.

*It has no central authority, no pope, and no ecclesiastical councle to decide what Hindus must or must not believe.

*It's a religion that seems uniquely able to accommodate the individual seeker.

*A devout Hindu can be a monotheist, a polytheist, or a nontheist.

*He can worship at Shrines or worship at home, or not at all.

*He can renounce the world or conquer it.

*He can give up sex or raise a large family.

*There is no creed to recite, only paths to follow.

*The choice of those paths is completely up to the seeker.

But the most imortant description is this:

*In Hinduism, the road to freedom begins with Freedom.

How can Hinduism be seen as an indigenous religion?

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 might Hinduism be politicized in the US given its understanding of the interaction between society and religion?

Given the Establishment clause of the Constitution, in addition to the increased secularization of the population of the United States, and also understanding that practitioners of Hinduism represent a very small portion of the total number of people practicing religion in the United States, it seems extremely unlikely that Hinduism could find a political foothold in the United States. How it 'might' be politicized is interesting hypothetically; it would depend on the number of people practicing Hinduism who become part of the political landscape and have enough support behind them to bring their beliefs into their legislative decisions. This is not impossible and certainly in India there is probably significant interplay between religion and politics.
