The words Hindu and Hinduism are in not found in ancient Tamil literature. To my knowledge, no Tamil Hindu king waged a war to establish the supremacy of the Hindu religion over other religions. *In its secular aspects, Hinduism does not prescribe one system of marriage or one system of succession/inheritance. Currently, most Hindus eat meat, fish and eggs, but not beef; many Hindus are vegetarian. I am happy with my Hinduism and with Kaniyan Poongunranar’s simple lesson ‘every one is my relation’.
