The oldest among the major religions of the world, the
word ‘Hindu' is derived from the name Hindhu, which
means the people of the Indus river region of northern
India (Cortez, 2016). Hinduism is a unique religion; it
has neither a single or specific human founder nor a
definite historical beginning. A religion without a
unified body of belief systems, ethical codes, absolute
doctrines, religious rituals, and practices.

of karma, in reincarnation, and in the goal of
attaining liberation and nirvana. Nowadays,
Buddhism is the dominant religion in China (Cortez,

the economic development of the said countries
