Both Hindus and Buddhists share the belief in karma, which is the principle that actions have consequences that affect an individual's future experiences. They also believe in the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara), where the soul or consciousness undergoes a continual cycle of reincarnation. Additionally, both traditions emphasize the importance of spiritual practice and moral living as pathways to liberation or enlightenment.
Most Hindus remained but refused to convert to Islam
Yes, Hindus can eat pork. It is the Mulsims and Jews that specifically don't eat pork. However, many Hindus and Buddhists are vegetarian and do not eat any meat due to their belief in reincarnation. It is not compulsory to be vegetarian and there is no specific prohibition against eating pork.

I believe that with death my personality and consciousness will cease, and the atoms that make up my body will be released and form new associations with a million of things, some living, others non-living.
Hindus regard Cow sacred and worship her because it serves the mankind in many ways while living or even on dying.
