In the west, we call the traditional religion of the Indian subcontinent Hinduism. For example, "Hinduism is followed throughout India." The Hindus themselves call it Sanatana Dharma--the "eternal virtue" or the "eternal religion."
Hindu is the term used to designate followers of Hinduism. For example, "Many Hindus worship Shiva."
Hindu also functions as an adjective. For instance, "The hindu belief in the four goals of life is central."
