Hindu groups refer to various communities and organizations within the broader framework of Hinduism, one of the world's oldest religions. These groups can be based on different beliefs, practices, and cultural traditions, often centered around specific deities, texts, or philosophies. Some well-known groups include the Vaishnavas, who worship Vishnu, and the Shaivas, who focus on Shiva. In addition to sects, there are also social and cultural organizations, such as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which promote Hindu values and culture. These groups play significant roles in community life, education, and social service, contributing to the diverse landscape of Hindu identity.
