It was suggested that Hinduism = Freedom of choice
The definition of Hindu can be taken forward on that.
A Hindu is a person who undertands that he is part of creation and all of creation is one with him. He understands that God is everywhere and in every form. To guide him he has a rich hertitage of knowledge in the form of the Vedas and Upanishads. His code of life is guided by the principles of the ideal just and wise human being as described in the Hindu epics, the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
