Indian Religions

Hey all hope everyone is doing fine , my assignment is a reaction to our reading in hopfe as I didn't find anything interesting articles or clips to report on. The topic was religions from India and what Coincidence my parents are Indian and I know something about hinduism but not too much. Overall the reading was pretty mcuha rehash of some of the basics things I knew anout the religion. One of the more interesting things about the religions from India are the impact of jainism and buddhism. My mother once told me once Buddha was an Indian prince and I really didn;t believe her. But it says the same In the reading, I admire Buddha eventhough I am christian ,because he truly set a moral code and sysyem higher than any other.He was an honest man and a great teahcer. His teahcing are not really about worshipping him but bettering one self. Surprsing that religions that once arose from India have bigger impact in other asian countries. Another interesting fact here is that hindu literature has changed over time , much like the bible. Does alll religous literature change and evolve over time ?

If you really search, you will see all religions in India, came from one source, that is Hinduism, which is actually a CULTURE and not an organized religion like Islam or Christianity.
