What is the Hinduism view on people who are not Hindu?
I've been learning about Hinduism in my high school world history course, because it's part of world history in relation to India. I know they believe in people being born over and over again, and their social class in the next life is determined based on their actions in their current life, but what is their view on people who aren't Hindu, and societies that don't have the Hindu caste system?
For example, someone in America or Europe being born poor, but they work their way up to a high social class -- how would Hindu's view that? Do they believe in some sort of punishment for non-Hindu's, like the concept of hell in Abrahamic religions? Or is it that they're generally not concerned about other places in the way Christians and Muslims are?
