Is Hinduism a religion or mythology?

Is Hinduism a religion or mythology?

Hinduism is a misnomer. It is a geographical definition for people living in India. Word ‘Hindu’ is not found in any religious scriptures of India. Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Jain's, Ashiest, Aadivaasi, Lingayats, dalits, etc, who live in India are Hindu by definition, since the linguistic meaning of Hindu comes from it's name Hindustan or Bharat. 

Creator of this universe is one and his guidance is also one. God can not make more than one religion and that too with contradiction in his teachings. It is people who make sects / groups on their own and falsely entitle it as religion. It beholds fabricated stories in the name of mythology that dilutes the teachings of a religion.

Religion of God is his guidance and it is same for everyone. It is not bound to any language, culture, region or era. It is called Sanatan Dharma in Sanskrit, Islam in Arabic, religion of submission in English.

Problem with Indians is that they get confused between culture and religion. They consider everything that is in Indian culture to be a part of Sanatan dharma. This is not true. Indian culture today has caste system, dowry system, wedding with deity system, abortion of girl system and so on. None of these are part of Sanatan dharama even though they are part of Indian culture.

Swami Vivekananda rightly said that Indians should abandon false traditions and culture.

  1. But most people are arrogant, they won't understand. It will only affect the people if they will use their brain rather than fake politicians and leaders
