In India, religion is not a split-off part of your life that you attend to on Sunday. It is integrated into every part of your life--you offer your food before you eat it, you probably have a daily meditation, you see holy men on the street, most houses have an altar, you probably are a vegetarian.
Biggest influence is : respect for elders, values and culture. And of couse respect for all religions.....as a Hindu I happily went to many chruches and mosques as we believe all paths lead to god.
You need to rephrase the question...but if you meant how does taking on the religion change your life? then the answer is:
You would be vegetarian, you'd stop intoxicating your self with alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. You'd take pride in being friendly to everyone. You'd view the world as an entity that works together for the same goal, which is to reach God. But at the same time you'd be conscious to realize of God working through you and not you working the body that you have. You'd take Bhagvad Gita as the word of God and way of life. You'd live peacefully and be very careful in hurting another soul. You'd pray to an idle once a day at least, by practice of chanting or meditating etc. You'd wake up early and sleep on time. You'd follow what's written in the Bhagvad Gita.

Will in the hindu culture, they have to fore-fill there responsibilities and in the Hinduism culture, they have more responsibilities than any other religion.
Hindu scriptures tell them how to live there lives and what to do in there lives
It was originally founded by a Hindu who didn't agree with the way lower caste Hindus were treated, and it's practices and beliefs are very similar to those of Hinduism. Turning to Buddhism means a Hindu who previously was treated atrociously by members of their own religion and society can escape the discrimination they have been subjected to all their lives without changing their beliefs or lifestyle too much.
suck it...
Hindu beliefs about rebirth and karma are tied to the caste system. The Hindu people believe that a persons caste is a result of karma and that deeds in past lives are responsible for ones current position (in the caste).
Karma is what brings alot of people back to earth. To pay for thier sins
It would affect them every day of their lives, because as a resource, their beliefs would show them the way to mummify their royalty, when to plant their crops, and how to re-direct the flow of the Nile River when it was necessary.
i suppose you mean 'whats kind of lifestyle a Hindu lives?'.A Hindu person is like any ordinary person ,doing the same things a person from any religon would do. Just like a devoted Christian ,Muslim ,Jew...Hindus are also closely attached to their beliefs and culture which gets reflected in their day to day lives.Their religon also sets a code which they cannot break otherwise it will be deemed as a sin.For egs.just as a Muslim or Jew is forbidden to eat pork since they consider it unholy , a Hindu cannot eat beef since they consider the cow to be holy.

Hindus believe that the soul passes through a cycle of successive lives and its next incarnation is always dependent on how the previous life was lived.(Similar to Buddhist beliefs) Karma is the cause of our particular destiny. Misfortunes in our present life are the result of acts that we have committed in the past. In the same way, our actions in our present lives will determine our fate in the lives that follow. Hindus therefore aim to live in a way that will cause each of their lives to be better than the life before.
Try going to a Mosque and consult a real Islamic religious leader.
The Hindu caste system determined a person's profession and who they were permitted to interact with
Hindus are expected to practice ahimsa very camely
