Answer:

Hey there!

Hinduism is a religion that many believe started somewhere between 2300 B.C. and 1500 B.C in the Indus Valley. Unlike some other religions, Hinduism was not created by a single person, but rather a fusion of different beliefs and ideas. Hindus believe that there are four goals in human life: kama, artha, moksha, and dharma. Hinduism affected society, especially in Ancient India, very much. For example, it created a caste system, where people were designated "classes." The kings and noble people were always at the top, where the servants and slaves were always at the bottom.

Let me know if you need further explaining. I'm happy to help :)
