People say Hinduism refers to a wide variety of religions and before the British it was a variety of religions that originated thousands of years ago.
But Hinduism IS POLYTHEISTIC- how else can the various Gods have dialogue with, fight or marry one another?
Hindus are not supposed to sacrifice animals because the Vedas says not to but the fools still do this. Buddha brought vegetarianism into Hinduism, asserting what the Vedas say (I eat meat but I'm not a conventional Hindu and I don't eat Bovine. I certainly wouldn't sacrifice them to appease God)
Ramayan, Mahabharata, etc. are not Vedas- hence Arya Samaj not bothering with these stories
