HinduismSB

The word 'Hindu' comes from the Indus River. The first readable evidence of Hinduism is the Rig Veda, a long poem in Sanskrit. In this religion, they believe in Karma and Reincarnation. One of the oldest aspects of Hinduism is their Caste system. In the Caste system there are four basic classes (social classes). First theres the Brahman, or priest caste. Second there are the Kshatriyas, or warriors and rulers. Third are the Vaisyas, or merchants and farmers. Last of them is the fourth caste, the Shudras or laborers. You are born into you're life long class. The ultimate Hindu goal is Nirvana.
