The brother can not get married to a hindu. he can either get married to a muslim, christian or jew and no other faith. Even though it would be alot better if he got married to a muslim woman because there are lots of muslim women who dont have husbands, so its important that they have partners and someone can take care of them.
But this is what the scholars say about marrying christian, jewish women.

Originally, it is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a woman from among the People of the Book. Referring to this, Allah Almighty says, (This day (all) the good things are allowed to you; and the food of those who have been given the Book is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them; and the chaste from among the believing women and the chaste from among those who have been given the Book before you (are lawful for you); when you have given them their dowries, taking (them) in marriage, not fornicating nor taking them for paramours in secret; and whoever denies faith, his work indeed is of no account, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers.) (Al-Ma'idah 5: 5)
With the above in mind, we should affirm that it is better for a Muslim to marry a Muslim woman. In case a Muslim wants to marry a non-Muslim woman from among the People of the Book, then he should be keen to remind her of belief in One God.
Answering the question in point, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi,President of the Fiqh Council of North America, states the following:
It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a Kitabi (Jewish or Christian) woman (see surat al-Ma'idah 5:5), but it is certainly better for a Muslim to marry a Muslim woman. According to some jurists, the permission to marry a Kitabi woman is only for those people who are living in a Muslim State. Those who are living in non-Muslim societies, it is better for them to have Muslim wives. In this way it will be easy for them to keep their home fully Islamic and it will be easier for them to raise their children in an Islamic manner.
Christians and Jews both claim that they believe in one God. Jews in their prayers declare "Shema'" which means, "Hear O Israel, the Lord your God is one God." Similarly Christians also say in their creed, "We believe in One God" but then they confuse their belief in the unity of God with the Trinity. Islam emphasized pure tawhid and took away all the confusions that were created in the concept of monotheism by many Jews and Christians. It is good that a Muslim be keen to remind both Jews and Christians to believe and affirm their faith in One God, especially if one is marrying a person and they both want to be life partners for each others.
