The religion that is considered by the scholars to have come first is Hinduism. This religion is said to have been existing over the past four thousand years. Besides, presently, Hinduism has been ranked as the third religion with the highest follower, ranking behind Islamic and Christian religions.

Over 90 percent of the people that belong to this religion come from India. Hinduism is more than just a religion, it is the combination of several philosophies and traditions. Also, it is a kind of unique religion in the sense that it cannot be traced particularly to a founder, which also makes it quite impossible to trace its history and origin.

Hinduism is much related to many other religions in India, such as Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and few others. Hinduism, which has been in existence for many centuries was founded between the 15th and 5th century BCE.
