Hinduism IS monotheistic. We believe in one God. We believe that God is capable of taking many forms and names.
The Rig Veda, the most ancient Hindu Scripture, says "Truth is One, but the Sages call it by many names." There is more than one way of describing God, because "He" embraces all.

OutwardlyCombustible is right: Hinduism really is monotheistic. All the gods are aspects of the One. It is like light refracted through a prism--the many colors are all part of the original.

It is my limited understanding that all the hindu gods are actually 'aspects' of one uber-god ( i think called brama ). Or else i just dreamt that, after falling asleep while watching bbc learning zone at 1:11 am some other night.
Yas! see i knew i could distinguish between reality and imagination. Wait till i tell my therapist!

uh, dude, hell no. Hinduism always had some crazy stuff with gods and cows and monkeys. But listen to this: Hindus made the number system we use. And we still must support the hindus against the muslims scourge of satan.

Its 5000 years old. Can't say for sure.
But there are some verses in Hindu scriptures remarkably similar to Surah al Ikhlas.

Get it through your turbin... God...three in person, one in essense. There is only one God (it sure ain't that Allah fool). You'll be disappointed more when you read Genesis, as God creates man, "...let US create man in OUR image." Elohim, infidel!

like Christianity used to be? We believe in ONE God, thank you.

you are wrong to criticize something you do not understand....just because you do not understand it, does not mean it is not true
Christians abide by the teachings of Jesus, who you claim to respect, but do not believe...

I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer
