Also keep in mind Sanskrit and Arabic are two very different languages, it is not always so easy to find similarities and hidden meanings in each of them

I just wanted to know if it is true.
And let me conclude by saying, if you were to randomly call your grandfather your slave does that make him your slave?
You can believe whatever you want to believe, who am I to tell you what you can and cannot have faith in?
Why did you ask this question?
Islam was created several millennia after hinduism, it is quite possible that islamic teachings mention such things as slavery, I think that it was just a form of ancient "trolling."
Hinduism is a polytheistic religion. More than just a religion, it is a way of life. Hinduism is a very peaceful religion, there is never any effort made to convert people, but people can convert if they wish. It is very easy to convert, all you do is go to the temple. Hindus pray in their own way, although there are many rites involved, and lots of ceremonies led by priests, hindus generally go to the temple and pray by themselves.
The Mahabharata and Ramayana are amazing, I remember watching the serialized versions a few years ago. Although I must admit I found the Mahabharata much more thought provoking, and frankly more entertaining.
From what I'm reading on wiki it says Hinduism covers a wide spectrum with the concept being complex.
Here's how my mother explained it to me as a child:
At first there was one, that is essentially the universe, that being split it's self into three identical consciousness' - Brahma, the creator, Vishnu, the preserver, and Shiva, the destroyer.(Trimurti)
There are others such as Indra, Ganesh, Yama, etc. are a representation of the Olympians, powers wise at least. However unlike other religions they are not the supreme power as they are subservient to Vishnu, and the main opponents of the Asuras, or demons. So I'd consider them to be angels or demigods, rather than the omnipotent deity that is described by other religions.
From the way my mother explained it, I always thought it was somehow a mix of monotheistic and polytheistic religions, because while there are multiple deities, they are all reflections of the all powerful.
