The H'ble SC has also taken Hinduism as a way of life, and has dealt upon the origins of it, the SC came to realize that unlike Abrahmic religions Hinduism has no single source of origin making it difficult to collectively call it an organized religion, Hinduism is a loose unification of religio-philosophical fragments, fragmented yet unified. "Religion" (Panth) is a western term and Hinduism does not satisfy the traditional features of any religion or creed, and that "it may broadly be described as a way of life and nothing more".
It would be a good question to consider whether Budhhism is also a way of life or a religion ?
Ghalib's ghazal "Na tha kuchh to khuda tha, kuchh na hota to khuda hota..." seems a Islamized copy of this ! :biggrin2:
BTW
@asingh10 what are your views on the origins of Sufism and Bhakti-Marga ? which one predates ?
