Not sure about that -- In fact, it's more like Judaism in that one's identity as a Hindu is tied into one's ethnic origin in the subcontinent, just as the faith of Judaism is inextricably bound to the land of Israel.

Christianity and Islam, as "revealed" faiths, are open to all (although Islam arguably has a built-in favoritism toward Arabs).

The classical greco-roman pantheon also differs greatly from Hinduism in view of the classical pantheon's paucity of theological/philosophical doctrine.

I don't think that all Jews would agree. Zionism is all about the land; Judaism is about Torah.
