HINDUISM<br />
Hinduism differs almost totally from the Vedic Aryan Religion as presented in<br />
the Rig Veda. Rig Veda is written in the Avestan Language which is often<br />
termed as Vedic Sanskrit. Earliest Sanskrit in which all Upanishads and<br />
Puranas are written can be traced back only to 150 AD. Though the early<br />
British Scholars who tried to date these Upanishads did that entirely based on<br />
internal references to past events and dated them wrongly as 5th century BC<br />
which was the period of Buddha and Jain. But modern archealogy could not<br />
find any writings in Sanskrit before150 AD.<br />

in the concept of God and names of gods. Thus all of a sudden the concept of<br />
reincarnation appears as the dominant idea within Hinduism in total deviation<br />
