@ Jad Mada: there's a number of problems with your edits diff. In general:
More specific:
Hinduism encompasses the different beliefs, practices, traditions, and philosophies that have emerged from the Indian Subcontinent as a result of Aryan religious influence on the indigenous Dravidian people.
Some form of the belief system which would become, or at least influence, Hinduism most likely existed in the Indus Valley prior to the 3rd millennium BCE when a nomadic coalition of tribes who referred to themselves as Aryan came to the region from Central Asia. Some of these people, now referred to as Indo-Iranians, settled in the region of modern-day Iran (some of whom came to be known in the West as Persians) while others, now known as Indo-Aryans, made their home in the Indus Valley. The term “Aryan” referred to a class of people, not a race, and meant “free man” or “noble”. The long-standing myth of an “Aryan Invasion” in which Caucasians “brought civilization” to the region is the product of narrow-minded and prejudiced 18th- and 19th-century CE Western scholarship and has long been discredited.
The excavations and archaeological findings at the Harappan sites indicate that the inhabitants of the ancient Indus River Valley civilization practiced the Ancient Vedic religion prior to the development of Hinduism.needs a pagenumber, and then, still, is nonsense. And no, scholars do not believe that "...around 1500 BCE, the Aryans, a group of nomadic tribes, traveled and settled in the Indus River Valley"; they settled in northwest-India, in the region known as Aryavarta.
I'm really sorry for the effort you put into this work, but it's really unacceptable, as it is off-topic, based on non- WP:RS, and introduces WP:FRINGE theories. Regards, Joshua Jonathan - Let's talk! 03:56, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
The Census stated in the first sentence of the article needs to be updated to the 2020 United States census, as it would effect the rest of the statistics stated in the article. Although the article does mention the Partition of India and how it effected Hindus, it overlooks the interaction between Hindus and people of other religions. There are many great sources that provide specific information relevant to the topic, however they should be updated to include the modern census and the Hindu dominated Indian Congress. Hindu oppression is very briefly discussed and left out of the history section. Events such as the Exodus of Kashmiri Hindus is overlooked in many articles. Since majority of the Indian Congress is Hindu, it would be ideal to include influential figures who were also Hindu. On the other hand, the article does an excellent job providing visuals of Hindu temples to indicate that Hinduism is widely available. Lastly, the article is very statistic focused and would benefit from providing context for those numbers and immersing the reader into the culture of Hinduism in India. This can be done by talking or linking traditions and mentioning the huge religious markets in India.

Telangana is a seperate state which divided from Andra state.it is the result of many people revolting u must include this state 115.99.225.85 ( talk) 15:12, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
The introductory paragraph describes the 4 Indian religions as being united by their shared belief in Moksha being the liberation of the Atman.
However, Buddhists do not believe in Atman. For them, Moksha/Nirvana is the realization of Anatman, among other things.
If someone does not clarify this claim, I will delete or replace it. Zoozoor ( talk) 15:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
