About this document
Origins of Hinduism: A Debate by S M Mukarram Jahan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses debates around whether Hinduism was invented by colonialists or existed as an ancient religion. Some scholars argue Hinduism was constructed by British colonizers in the 19th century who grouped various Indian belief systems together. Others argue Hinduism had a self-conscious religious identity prior to colonialism, dating back to ancient times, though the term "Hinduism" itself emerged later. The document examines evidence and arguments on both sides of the debate around the origin
