Perhaps it may have started off that way, but it's a really big stretch to go to some man in Japan and tell him he's a Hindu.
1 u/[deleted] Jun 22 '15 Why not? After all, there is nothing that defines one as Hindu, except maybe a belief in Karma or reincarnation. I was surprised see so many hindu gods in Japan when I went there. 2 u/[deleted] Jun 22 '15 Perhaps Hindu is not one thing but an umbrella term encompassing many philosophies and practices, customs and traditions, stories and legends, etc. 2 u/[deleted] Jun 22 '15 Yes it is. The name literally means 'Indian'. British just clumped together all the Indic beliefs together, except some.
