UMBRELLA OF HINDUISM

An umbrella term might be created to categorize and group them together based on simple geography: Jordanism or Euphratesism. To some degree this is what happened in India; and now we are left with a word that is almost impossible to do without and yet we must recognize that it does not carry the specificity of meaning once assumed. In light of this many scholars would agree with the statement that “Today without wanting to admit it we know that Hinduism is nothing but an orchid cultivated by European scholarship. It is much too beautiful to be torn out but it is a greenhouse plant: It does not exist in nature.”It exists by itself without any revelation or Creation of God or prescribing Commandments etc. In one word it is not a religion it is a Social concept of human behavior and culture under one umbrella called “Umbrilla”.
