Hinduism vis a vis other religions- my opinion

I have tried to read different religion books after reading main religious books of hinduism. I even read kalma- but to me it is just my acceptance to the single god- almighty- STRONGLY- thats all Islam tells- as a basic difference- which i don't find bad any way- i don't find anything else new or differnt in that as well! Of course it gives fantastic guidence for personal management at micro level.
After different readings which continues, i find the following things. I might be wrong- please tell me.
Hinduism is a guide for rulers. It has code of conduct only for judges (god or god like people)- for common mass it has deeds and its results- if you do good- you will get prize, if you do bad you will get punishment- by the god. You may do either- nothing is against Hinduism! You have an indicataion of what is better- but never a compulsion. You have an ideal- which you should try to be/ follow allthrough your life- and which every one is sure that you will not- by no means you can be perfect- but you need not to be! From Grihstha to Sanyasi- every one is Hindu! Rama and Ravna both were Hindus! Both the sides of Mahabharata were Hindus- relatives- own blood! And that was where the religion was tested! In the most trying circumstances! Where most people are confused, hinduism is very clear. That most important thing in life is life itself!
Other religions- you have a fixed code of conduct- if you do that you belong to that religion- or else not. If some thing was missed by the first person of the religion, the religion is devided at that point! And there is a wound at the division point! Hinduism is the religion of continuous evolution! Hinduism has been divided so many times and still the divisions have been so smooth; still it is so intact that the division and unity appears like branches of the single tree!
Minimum 4 religions from India have enlightened the world! But India itself remains only the source of light! The great Hinduism! Single like orange!
Some times few people try to creat CHIRAG TALE ANDHERA. I can simply say- Just avoid them, but human inside me says- try to bring them on right path- by making them to understand the basic religion- of humanity! All other religions are adavancements on and over that. And this basic religion is most closer to Hinduism- because it says that the most important thing in life is life itself!
