It is my opinion that Santana Dharamam a.k.a Hinduism originated in the present North Western parts of present India, Pakistan & Afghanistan; and it slowly spread to the rest of the sub continent. Just like Buddhism or Jainism that spread to the Southern India, so too this spread. It incorporated the local customs/traditions as it spread.
Is this different from any other complex/evolved religion like Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity or Islam? Yes, it spread far more peacefully and people resonated with it.
