What Hindus believe

What Hindus believe

750 million people around the world call themselves Hindus. However, 'Hinduism' is more like a network of religions than a single unified set of beliefs, and there is amazing diversity within Hinduism.

Hinduism is a way of life, based on some common beliefs and held together by its enduring social structure. Family and community are fundamentally important. There are about half a million Hindus in the UK. The largest groups are Gujarati, Punjabi and Tamil (mostly from Sri Lanka).

'What Hindus believe' is a new add-on unit, written specially to go with our course on 'Facing the Challenge of Other Faiths.' It's designed to help Christians understand what Hindus believe and how they live.
