.....Hinduism does not have a founder that we know of. I mean, when you think of Christianity, Jesus Christ is typically considered the founder. Or you think of Islam, Muhammed is typically considered the founder. Buddhism, Buddha. Even with Judaism, you consider Abraham the father of Judaism. But with Hinduism there wasn't a Mr. Hindu back there somewhere. We don't know where Hinduism began or who began Hinduism.
