Australia's Collective Identity
Due to the influx of Indian migration, this led to Hindus making up 1.3% of Australia's population (as of 2011). However this brought to Australia a massive influx of culture and tradition. This led to new shops, Hindu temples, Hindu communities dotted around Australia leading to the Hindu Council of Australia and more.
Interactions with other religious traditions
Hinduism is a diverse religion and share certain core beliefs with Buddhism despite their history of disputes. Both Hinduism and Buddhism share the role of karma in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, both emphasize that death is inevitable and is the devourer of all life which is shown prominently in Hindu and Buddhist text and both believe in the 'Natural Law', Hindus and Buddhists believe it is extremely important for correct living or a proper way of life.
