In India. Hinduism originated from early Indo-Aryan religion and Hinduism is a branch of Hinduism although much more liberal. Also, Hinduism had what is known as a "Caste System" which was pretty much social levels. The Brahmin priests being at the top, then warriors, then merchants and traders, then laborers, and finally the "untouchables". Buddhism is based on the idea that the ultimate goal is to reach Nirvana. Nirvana is pretty much a big pool of consciousness, not a god however. To reach enlightment(nirvana) your Atman must reach Brahman(pool of consciousness) to do so, you must have perfect karma so you can stop reincarnating. Hope this helps.
