1. The founder of hinduism is Buddha

Explanation

The statement is false because the founder of Hinduism is not Buddha. Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world, and its origins can be traced back thousands of years. The Buddha, on the other hand, was the founder of Buddhism, which emerged as a separate religion from Hinduism in the 6th century BCE. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the founder of Hinduism is Buddha.
