well, whatever religion people follow is their business, we don't proselytize. (jews sikhs and hindus are similar there)
thing is though, in addition to that, there is an issue teaching torah to non-jews.. And furthermore, teaching to one that is an idolator..(some or all might consider hinduism idolatry)
You can look into the noachide laws yourself. Here are two books
http://www.amazon.com/Rainbow-Covenant-Torah-Seven-Universal/dp/0971938822
The Rainbow Covenant: Torah and the Seven Universal Laws
http://www.amazon.com/Path-Righteous-Gentile-Introduction-Children/dp/087306433X/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_b
The Path of the Righteous Gentile: An Introduction to the Seven Laws of the Children of Noah (Hardcover)
by Chaim Clorfene (Author), Yaakov Rogalsky (Author)
Jewish belief is in the Torah, which says that jews should follow jewish law, and gentiles should follow the 7 noachide laws. Laws which we believe were given to Adam and Noah.

it would be difficult for me to get these books in India. I would prefer some thing in ebook format, sorry i forgot to mention this.
meanwhile i will look into noachide laws. btw it no problem, like many hindus i can meditate without concentrating on idols. Idols are just supplement or beautification factor for temples.
