who knows? It is between God and the soul. we christians have limited interpretation of the Bible & God is unknowable. I do not profess to know who will be in hell & who in His kingdom.

Well a child is innocent so it should not go to Hell just because its a Hindu Child but I am not a christian so I might be wrong.

No. Going to hell is not a matter of personal belief. It is a matter of actions. When you die, God shows you every thing you have done, good, bad, and ugly. You decide whether or not you will go to heaven. So, the Hindu child will go to God, but God will not cast the child aside. He will show the child the sins s/he has committed and let them judge accordingly. This is what I believe, whether or not it follows "Christian" belief.

There is no universally accepted answer among Christians. In my opinion, the only "Christian" answer is "I don't know" because no man knows upon whom God bestows his grace. No man knows whose names are written in the book of life.
I will say this, there are many Christians who say that if one does not "accept Jesus as lord and savior" then one cannot be saved - a simplistic if/then analysis. However, if one looks at the Book of Revelation and the passage concerning Judgment Day - the verses state explicitly that God will judge the living and the dead at that time "according to what they have done."
That's interesting wording. It says "according to what they have done" and not "according to what they have believed" or "according to whether they have accepted Jesus Christ..." Clearly, if we take the words "literally" then Judgement Day is based solely on what people did in life.
Here's Judgment Day:
Revelation 20:11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Doesn't that paint a different picture than the one we are used to in conventional thought? "death and Hades" give up the dead that were in them! People who die and are in Hades come out of Hades and get judged by God! God judges them all "according to what they have done" - and those that are not judged favorably are thrown into the lake of fire and suffer the second death.
Then Hades itself gets thrown into the lake of fire!

If he is not at the Age of Reason no but if he is and he does not worship God and Jesus and believe Jesus died for his sins, and is not baptized then Yes he will go to Hell. The only way to heaven is as Jesus said you must first be born of water and the spirit and then believe in him for he is the way the truth and the life. Without that you will go straight to hell.

Not if the child has not yet reached the age of accountability.... all children... according to my understanding of God... will be taken to Heaven if they die before becoming accountable, according to God's determining, not mans,

No. According to Christians. Not all agree with me, but it is the teaching of the church. God is Love. Love does not condemn.

No, all children go to heaven according to the Bible. You see, children are pure and innocent, God won't send him to hell.

No. I surely hope not! Christianity is the only religion that believes in hell.
