I know that Bahai believe in manfestations with major world religions but what is its connection with Hinduism?

The Bahai Faith acknowledges Krishna as a Prophet. Some Bahais believe that some Hindu prophecies were pointing at 1844 as the advent of the new incarnation of Krishna and that this incarnation was the Bab, the precursor of Baha'u'llah.

Bahai faith is not connected to Hinduism.Bahaullah is Persian (probably his ancestors followed Muslim faith).Just 150 years before he started Teaching his faith that all world Religons talk about the same God and why to psychologically fight that "My faith is Supeior" attitude.His followers formed into a separate "faith" called Bahais.Many Muslim countries do not tolerate any sub-groups of "faith" except the ONE started by Prophet Mohammed,even if it was started by a Muslim--"Ahemadias" is another faith started by another Muslim Ahamed who claimed to be a close relative (Brother?) of Prophet Mohammed.--In India which is Secular Democracy you find all these religions-Hindus,Buddhists,Jains,Sikhs (under Hindu cluster)Jews, Christians(all sub-groups Catholics,Protestants,Pente coasthe,Syrian Christians etc,etc,),Muslims(Shia,Sunni,Lebbai etc,etc) (under Abrahmic cluster), Paarsis,Ahamedias,Bahais,(assorted clusters) Brahma kumaris,Radhaswami and you name any other Religion of the world - ALL are there in India..India is a country "Infested' with Religions---they are tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tolerant.(P.S:-Jains,Sikhs and Lebbais are missing in the main post)

The only religions that connect with Hinduism are Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

The Bahia faith ,to my mind is so much more inclusive and is very tolerant when it comes to other religions.The Bahia faith is a little more evolved than other separative faiths and heart oriented and pure.
