In India Hinduism is the main religion yet King Asokha was a Buddhist and the wheel of Ashoka is on India's flag
In South East Asia; particularly Thailand (area and Royals' names) and Cambodia (Angor Wat) Buddhism is the main religion even though South East Asia's culturally Hindu
In China,Korea and Japan it's Buddhism mixed with folk religion and no Hinduism
Did Hinduism absorb Buddhism? Why do Jains and Zoroastrians also partake in Ganesh Chautri and Diwali?
By the way, this is a bias video but did the vegetarianism come from Buddhism? As we know some branches of Hinduism sacrifice animals; I hear it is an 'Aryan Hindu' invention. Was vegetarianism in Vedic/ South Indian Hinduism or did Jainism and Buddhism morph Hinduism?

There was another video where his son (I believe; a youngster who talks like him on Peace TV) preaches the same thing. Selective quoting imo
Interesting article but too long
Beef eating in the Hindu Tradition | Rohini Bakshi - Academia.edu
Was the reason Hindus don't eat beef because Krishna is GOVINDA and because Hindus believe that each Yuga is a bull's leg and now that we're in Kali Yugu, the bull is only on one leg. It can't only be for cultural reason e.g. milk, gestation period and ploughing fields because i'm sure goats do this too. And obviously Hindus today don't eat it
Except
BBC News - Violence breaks out at Indian beef-eating festival
I don't even know when/how I stopped beef. I read in a schoolbook Hindus aren't meant to eat beef though I don't think it's from that! I was eating all meat for a while up to 9-10 years old and went vegetarian for a year. Then I ate meat except beef but I am unsure where I stopped beef.
Keeping with the topic of how Hinduism has changed over the years:

'Some facts about Krishna'- Krishna's polygamy, his death, how he 'cheated' to help Bhim and Arjun win,etc.
'Some facts about Raam'- Ram and Lakhsman did things for their own gain e.g. helping Surgriv, Raam didn't want Sita initially, they expelled Sita, Ravana was only looking out for his sister,his sister loved Lakshman
'Ramayan' - Written in 400BC but now apparently 5AD due to references to Alexander the Great and Buddhism.
'Mahabharat'-standardised only after 1966
