Jewish Professor of Indo-Judaic studies Dr. Nath Katz introduces Hindus to the Noahide Laws but is unsure whether Hinduism is Noahide or not

Dr. Nathan Katz is a Jewish Professor of Indo-Judaic studies at Florida International University.  He does a great deal of outreach to Hindus.  He wrote a chapter for a book called "An Introduction to Judaism for Hindus" in which he teaches Hindus about the Noahide Laws.  However, in his book "Spiritual Journey Home: Eastern Mysticism to the Western Wall" Katz makes it known he is unsure whether or not Hinduism follows the Noahide Laws. According to the Hindu-Jewish Summit, Hinduism is Noahide-compliant so long as it is defined the way Jews say it should be defined (here). The Hindu community is being inculturated into Noahide Law, and they are very receptive, there is no resistance to this spiritual incursion and the blending of the two faiths.  Hindus get angry if you try to point out this subterfuge to them and call you an antisemite.

The first articulation of this Brit was between G­od and Noah (Noach) and his descendants, which is to say with all of humanity. G­od promised never  again to destroy the world after the Flood (Mabul), and humanity is to observe seven  rules for human conduct (Mitzvot, singular Mitzvah), basic ethical principles, the  responsibility to establish a system of justice, and to worship only G­od. 

Dr. Katz not sure Hinduism is Noahide compliant

He writes in his book, Spiritual Journey Home: Eastern Mysticism to the Western Wall:

The question of one God versus many gods confounds every westerner who approaches Hinduism. On the apparent level, Hinduism has many gods who are depicted by murtis, statues or idols. Idolatry, of course, is not only condemned in the Biblical second commandment, it even contradicts the much less doctrinaire seven Noahide commandments that are said to be obligatory for all descendants of Noah, which is to say everyone.

Yet when the swami speaks of God as the Light, beyond all form and distinctions, this apparent level of understanding is put into question. And the more one delves into the philosophies underlying Hindu practice, the more the apparent level is exposed as a mere comic book version of a profound and serious theology. At the same time, some of the practices of Hinduism cannot be affirmed from a Jewish standpoint. (p. 42)

Most of us think of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as the three western monotheisms, as though monotheism never existed in India. Some politely refer to them as the three Abrahamic faiths, as Abraham is taken to be their father, either in a literal or a spiritualized sense. These western religions are assumed to be distinct from “eastern religions,” which are characterized by a cyclic view of history and multiple deities. Indeed, that is one way to make a general distinction. But it is not the only way, as I tell my students… (p. 46)

For an observant Jew, participation in this sort of dialogue raises issues of avodah zarah, a derogatory term meaning “other people’s worship,” something to be avoided at all costs by observant Jews. Is Tibetan Buddhism avodah zarah, or is it another name of God?… Yet, the question is not simple. Ample halakhic authorities, from Sa’adia Gaon to Maimonides, sometimes held accommodating views regarding other religions. Somehow this liberal thread has receded into the background, and more rigid views have come to the fore. The texts do not hold a monolithic view… (pp. 114-115)
