There is a broader, perhaps slightly less biased, article on "Wikipedia" about Hinduism

Hinduism is one of the world's most prolific religions, and one of the two primary religions of the South Asian subcontinent, along with Islam.[1] It is also known as Sanātana Dharma by Hindus. Hinduism originated as a melding of the vedic religion of invaders from the north with the native religion centered on forest hermits in India. It is perhaps the world's oldest extant religion.

Hinduism is a combination of polytheism and monotheism. Hindus believe there are countless gods and goddesses that all are facets of one God. Now does that make sense?[2] Hindus believe in reincarnation and karma. A serious problem with Hinduism is the caste system which treats some people as inferior because of wrong actions which are believed to have been done in past lives. There is no proof that these wrongs ever happened.
