How has Hinduism influenced social structure in India? well, Hinduism had a strict Caste System, or social status rankings. This made India a very strict country when it comes to where people belong, since a person's ranking was hereditary. People from different castes could not intermarry, or even dine together.

The main way that Hinduism influenced the Indian society is by the Caste System. The Caste System is the social classes of India, and are still accepted by some in India. Whether they believed in the Caste System or not, everyone was in a certain class.

Hinduism has survived against foreign invasion,intrusion and tyranny for thousand years simply for its sublimeness, tolerance, preaching of non violence. In this world of volatility,where all types of violent activities are orders of the day, Hinduism preaches that materialism in the form of consumerism are root of all evils and that attaining spiritualism that brings mental peace can help mankind to tide over all sufferings and mental agonies. The preachings of Sankaracharya and of late by Swami Vivekananda before the western world have highlighted the importance of Hinduism and its blissful impact on the society as a whole. It is the only religion in the world which has no quarrel with any other religion and have emphasized the basic principle of spiritualism i.e. God is being worshiped by all religions in different names and that humanity is the supreme ideal and basis of any religion.Buddism, Jainism, Sikhism have all derived from Hinduism and have an intrinsic link up with its original root i.e. Hinduism.
