Hinduism

Hinduism

 Just like the other religions, Hinduism, I believe, was formed to fix a problem for from community tradition. Hinduism was supposedly formed in the Indus River Valley where there were sophisticated cities and a population of 40,000 people. The area was advanced in their plumbing system, weaponry and they had a settled/peaceful society. The area traded internationally and had a writing system. A bathing ritual, yoga, meditation and statues of goddesses were all important in the new religion which is the oldest living religion today.

Hinduism, I believe, was formed to help the communities of the Indus River Valley to create a way of life. Something to believe in while working hard as a nomadic people.
