Red herring! Where the word 'Hinduism' came from is irrelevant, and you know it! Did the Adivasis practice what the British call 'Hinduism' prior to the invasion by the Aryan immigrants 3.5 thousand years ago. Yes or no?
And yet Indians who descended from the Aryan invaders seem to have a penchant for forcing Hinduism and the caste system on the Adivasis. So no, not all 'tribes' like to remain distinct. The descendants of the invading tribes love to force their way of life on the indigenous tribes. Sound familiar?
Why would I? The two scenarios aren't even remotely similar.
