Jainism is a religion that is similar to Hinduism in some beliefs and practices, but places a strong emphasis on nonviolence (ahimsa). Jains follow strict vegetarian diets and practices to avoid harming all forms of life, including animals, insects, and plants.

How do Hindus practice Hinduism?

Hinduism is a very complex religion. Though India practices Hinduism majorly but it has got many sub lingual, cultural and traditional groups based on castes which practice Hinduism in many different and vibrant manners. For example, the 'Rajputs' or the warrior caste in India practice Hinduism in a very royal and grand way and 'Brahmins' practice it in an entirely different way. So it depends on a caste and its culture.
