Sirs,
That mean a muslim can't Form HUF. ??
Hinduism as defined by Hon'able Supreme Court is a way of Life Hinduism is not a religion, and any person who follows the same will be a Hindu.

Yes.
A Muslim cannot form a HUF.
Your interpretation of Hindu is absolutely correct i.e Hinduism is a way of life.

For all legal matters the Government considers Jainism, Sikkhism and Buddhism as dervived from Hindhuism. Therefor HUF exists by law for these relegions also on same conditions as it does for Hinduism. You do not need to create it.
The other relegions are not derived from Hinduism. They are totally outside relegions that came to India and then Hindus converted to these relegions.
Jainism, Sikkhism and Buddhism were formed from Hinduism. That is the big difference.
