What is hinduism?

Hello! I have to do a project for school on Hinduism. I have a few questions: 1. Founder and history of origin 2. Sacred Texts and Basic Principles 3. Rituals and rites 4. Perspectives on important life issues (example: life, death, ethics) 5. The role of religion in modern society Answers to the key question: What can we learn from this religion to help us build a more tolerant and understanding society?
