Hinduism

I recently stumbled upon this one in a blog by a guy named Srinidhi http://srinvis.blogspot.com/

I never knew about this..its quite interesting..read on..he quotes:

"It is the greatest misconception that hinduism is a religion. it is not. the supreme court of india has also agreed that hinduism is a way of life lead by people to the south-east of the the hindu river or the hindukhoo mountians. It was the british who when they introduced census in india defined hinduism to be a religion. It is not a religion, it is a way of life...What else do you call something according to which you have to wake up before sunrise in the morning, do physical activity like yoga, take a bath, do meditation and then after your body and mind are clean enter the kitchen and then go on to do your work for the day without concentrating on the results just for work's sake. I don't think any other religion in the world mandates good living habits like hinduism and hence hinduism is not a religion."
