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.

All religions use oral traditions. Scholars believe that apart from the commandments given by Moses there were commandments which were not recorded. The Pharisees believed so while the Saducees did not believe. Oral traditions in Islam were recorded and the Hadith contains them. In Hindus the oral traditions were recorded and they are available in their Holy Books.
Hindus follow a diverse range of dietary practices. Many Hindus are vegetarian, while others may include poultry, fish, or even red meat in their diet. Some Hindus also observe fasting on certain days, consuming only specific types of foods. Ultimately, food choices in Hinduism can be influenced by factors such as personal beliefs, cultural traditions, and regional customs.
Hindu dietary practices vary widely based on regional, cultural, and individual beliefs. Many Hindus adhere to vegetarianism due to religious principles that promote non-violence (ahimsa), which often extends to avoiding meat, including venison. However, some Hindus, particularly in certain communities or regions, may consume venison or other meats. Ultimately, whether Hindus eat venison depends on personal choice and adherence to specific traditions.
