Hello! I was wondering if it would be culturally appropriate for an ethnic Hindu to convert/practice Buddhism?

Sure. If you feel more inclined towards Buddhism than Hinduism then I see no problem with it as long as it is what you truly want. However, there are parts of Hinduism that are a lot like Buddhist principles and Buddha got a lot of his initial teachings from the Vedas so idk might be something you want to look into. I don’t know what it takes to convert to Buddhism or exactly what part of Buddhism someone wants to convert to but sure I don’t see a problem with it because I don’t think there are restrictions to conversion in Buddhism like there is in Hinduism.
