indian religions similarities

Let’s not discuss the philosophy part here, we are just showing the similarities between these four religions Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism & Jainism – originated in undivided India without using any complex theory. At the same time please do not see this article against any other religion. However, other religions must understand, that these Four religions were once a single religion, which was legally & officially broken into four pieces by the British and later by the Indian govt.

History & legal books have differentiated between these four religions and many efforts were made to prove how much they differ from each other. The points I am taking here from our day-to-day life, which everyone can easily understand and correlate.

No religion is big or small and every single religion guides us to connect with the Supreme Power.
