| hinduism | A complex body of social, cultural, and religious beliefs and practices evolved in and largely confined to the indian subcontinent and marked by a caste system, an outlook tending to view all forms and theories as aspects of one eternal being and truth, and the practice of the way of works, the way of knowledge, or the way of devotion as a means of release from the round of rebirths.
