Both have there own place. In early hinduism brahmans used to worship when a child is born and chandal ( dalit) used to perform rites of burning when some died
Thats becouse every muslim shoupd respect prophet mohamad but its not the case in hinduism. Here there is no such rule, some may follow shiva or some may follow bishnu. Like muslim has only one main quran but hindu doesn't have only vedas. Assamese hindu follows bhagavat not veda
Ok friend
Assamese hinduism completely different from western hinduism north Indian and south indian hinduism is almost identical but north-east hinduism is totally different
Well, earlier in british term, tribal religion of north-east were termed hindu but although looked similar but ethnically different. And many sub branches are there who believe in some hindu gods but system complete different than sanatan dharma
