HINDUISM

80% of the people living in India are Hindu.

Hinduism is the world's third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam.

Many Hindus believe in two main gods, Vishnu, the Preserver of the Universe and Shiva the Destroyer of the World.

The Caste System is a division of society regarding the occupations of individuals as well as their family status.

Bramins-Priests

Kshatriyas-Warriors

Vaishyas-Merchants

Shudras-Laborers

Chandalas-'Untouchables'

Many Hindus believe that it is the will of the gods for a person to be in the 'Untouchable' class, and treat them as such.
