Rishi Sunak is a Hindu. Hinduism is the worlds third largest religion with more than 1.2 billion followers, and it has its roots in India, where Mr. Sunaks family heritage is from. Hindus believe in reincarnation of the soul, along with karma, which is the idea of cause and effect in the universe. The religion is sometimes seen as polytheistic, but in fact, the many deities represent different aspects of the supreme being called Brahman. Hindus can often be vegetarian, so as to minimize hurting other life forms, and the cow is seen as sacred by believers, so it is rare for any Hindus to eat beef.
