Because Hinduism is a polytheistic religion (includes many different gods for different groups and people), it is often very open to other religions. I know Christian missionaries to India have been enthusiastic when the local population is excited about adopting Jesus as their new God, but have been frustrated to learn that they've merely added Jesus to a long list of gods they worship. Presumably, Hindu scholars would have problems with any exclusive religion that claims to have the only path to truth for this reason.

As Swami Vivekananda said, ? Brothers & Sisters!?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Vivekananda

The Parliament of Religions opened on 11 September 1893 at the Art Institute of Chicago.

On this day Vivekananda gave his first brief address. He represented India and Hinduism.

Though initially nervous, he bowed to Saraswati, the goddess of learning and began his speech with, "Sisters and brothers of America!".

To these words he got a standing ovation from a crowd of seven thousand, which lasted for two minutes.

When silence was restored he began his address.

He greeted the youngest of the nations in the name of "the most ancient order of monks in the world, the Vedic order of Sanson's, a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance." And he quoted two illustrative passages in this relation, from behavedav ada?"As the different streams having their sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea, so, O Lord, the different paths which men take, through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee!" and "Whosoever comes to Me, through whatsoever form, I reach him; all men are struggling through paths that in the end lead to Me." Despite being a short speech, it voiced the spirit of the Parliament and its sense of universality.

I agree with Markham's, its a life style that allows others to make their own choices about beliefs and modes of worship. For them it's all about balance.

We Hindu treat every one as our brothers and sisters. Respect each one. We are vegetarians. Non -violence in thought, word and deed truthfulness and geniality of speech, absence of anger even on provocation, disclaiming doer ship in respect of actions,quietude or composure of min, abstaining from slander, compassion towards all creatures, absence of attachment to the objects of senses even during the contact with the senses, mildness, a sense of shame in transgressing the scriptures or social conventions, and abstaining from frivolous pursuits.

We never force others to act as per our wish.

Actually, Sanatana Dharma does not view any other religion in any manner. Maybe at that time there were no other religions. Today's Hinduism has a liberal view of other religions.
