Hinduism is a much contested term used to describe the religious beliefs & practices of more than 800 million people most of whom live in India Yet Hinduism is a religion which lacks a set of core beliefs (there is no founder no single scripture nor any central organisation) The sheer diversity of beliefs (Hindus may be atheists polytheists & monotheists) & practices that vary across social groups & regions has led some to claim that the term ' Hindu' is almost meaningless What do Hindus Believe? argues however that there are central threads in this diversity which can be traced through more than three thousand years from the prehistoric depictions of Hindu deities in the Indus Valley Civilisation through classical medieval & colonial periods The title's examination of Hinduism in the twenty-first century discusses the rise of ' Hindutva' or Hindu-nationalism in India & examines beliefs & practices in the Hindu diaspora with particular emphasis on Britain The title also examines the depictions in the media of Hindu beliefs & practices (religious soap operas such as the Mahabharata & the Ramayana; religious ceremonies & miracles in popular cinema) & looks at the significance of media (the Internet satellite & cable television) in connecting the Hindu diaspora to India ...
