Because "-ism" is meaning "sect" but "Budh" is religion, not sect. The word "sect" is just a sub of religion. However, "Budh" is the great religion. Budh religion has own native and heritage and totally different from other religions.
So please call Hindu not Hinduism. Because "-ism" is meaning "sect" but "Hindu" is religion, not sect. The word "sect" is just a sub of religion. However, "Hindu" is the great religion.

Conceptionally, name is abstract. but in my meaning, level of respectability should be the equivalent, whatever religions. According to various kinds of sect in one religion, a religion could have diversity of sects, but a sect could not have any sub sect. So, admiration should be performed on every religion.
