In Hinduism, there are multiple deities, and Brahman who is the all powerful god, is a part of everything. In Buddhism there are no gods or deities. Hinduism is often misunderstood because it has no single founder and it is not a defined organization. Ancient Hindu people had very strict caste systems, and the only way to move up was through reincarnation. If you had good karma you could be moved up in the Caste System in the next life, if you had bad karma you could be moved down. The only way to release yourself from that system was to reach Nervana. the way to do that was to become an ascetic, follow your Dharma and get good karma. In Buddhism there are no strict caste systems. Their goal was to seek the middle way. Don't become an ascetic, but don't get all your desires. There is one single founder to Buddhism, and he is Prince Siddhartha, also known as the Buddha. Buddhism and Hinduism are both complicated, and I have not learned much about them. I hope this answers your question.
