Hinduism orignates in the indian Subcontinent. Hinduism is the world's oldest existent religion, Hinduism had its origin in the religous beliefs of Aryan people who settled in India after 1500 B.C. Evidence about the religious beliefts of the Aryan peoples comes from the Vedas, collections of hymns and religious ceremonies that were passed down orally through the centuries by Aryan priests and then eventually written down.

It was the duty of the individual self called the atman to seek to know this ultimate reality. By doing so, the self would merge with Brahman after death.they also belived in reincarnation, authority of vedas, and the law of Karma that determines ones destiny both in this life and the next. Hinduism has about 900 million followers of the religion
India's caste system is also inforced by Hinduism, combining social structure with religious support.
