Who started Hinduism and where was it started?

History of Hinduism

Hinduism was started by the people of the Indus River Valley. They believed in many different gods. Then the Aryans came and also had a polytheistic belief (more than one god) and gave the gods new names.

The stories were dictated in many different writings and were called Vedic Literature. As time went on, the people in that area started believing in an "all present force."

The beginnings of Hinduism date back into the B.C. years, in some estimations as early as 2000 B.C.

Today the majority of Hindu followers live in India and worldwide number around 500 million.
