• The type of life a person leads determines what his next life will be like.
• A good person will have a better life in his next reincarnation.
• An evil person will suffer in his next life.
• A soul is reincarnated over and over again, until the life it lives is good enough to bring it to be united with Braham.

• There are divisions within each caste, making India social structure very complicated. Traditional families would not let their children marry someone from a different caste. Many jobs in India are still awarded based on caste connections.

• Hinduism is the religion most practiced in India and it is the third largest religion in the world, behind Christianity and Islam.
