I truly believe he studied it. Some of his teachings and parables predate him in Hindu writings.
Hindu and Christian beliefs have more common traits than they do disimilar ones. Especially in the role of ethics and morals.

I do not think so.
But
Commenting on the teachings of Christian missionaries as Plotinus, Clement, Gregory, Augustine and the like, Dean Inge observes: "They are the ancient religion of the Brahmins masquerading in the clothes borrowed from the Jewish, Gnostic, Manichaen and Neo-Platonic allegories. That is why Mahatma Gandhi told Romain Rolland in Switzerland on his way back to India from the Round Table Conference (1911) that Christianity is an echo of the Indian religion and Islam is the re-echo of that echo."

No. the Hindu belief system is way different and was in a different part of the world besides.
Jesus was the son of the universal God.
I remember on Xena though how they portrayed him as coming from India.
yeah, that was during the time Xena really started to stink.

The christian myth is nothing more than a regurgitation of previously existing mythologies, INCLUDING krishna from hinduism.

The word "christ" is a perversion of the ancient Greek word "christos" which means "saviour". As well, the word "christos" was nothing more than the Greek phonetic interpretation of the hindu myth name, "krishna".
All "saviours" from centuries past were retellings of earlier fables, travelling east to west along the silk road from China to Europe. Take note of the dates: the oldest "saviours" were from the far east nearly 3000 years ago, until the christian myth was invented and written down 1700 years ago.
There is no historical record of a being named Yeshua ben Nazareb (aka "jeebus"). The babble - oops, bible - fables were not compiled until hundreds of years later.

Somehow, I think not. He was an observant Jew.
Simon the Zealot (Zealots were Jewish extremists) would certainly not have followed Jesus if he was Hindu. Unless he wanted the other Zealots to stop inviting him to Zealot cocktail parties.

Jesus was born in Nazareth, historically where Palestine is now. It's too bad that Jews and Arabs, who descend from the same father, keep fighting and killing each other these days.

No? feel free to message me and explain what would possibly make you think that. lol. Hinduism was/is popular a pretty decent ways away from where Jesus lived. So, in short, no way.

No. He was a Jew.
What would lead you to believe he was Hindu?
