Yes absolutely. Reincarnation is a central belief in Hinduism. Hindus believe that we are not this body; we are spirit-souls who take on a particular body, and a particular life, each time we are born. For example, the body I have now is female, American, and upper-middle class. But that is not necessarily the body I will have the next time I am re-born. Depending on whether I did my dharma in this life (performed my religious duty, lived an ethical life), I will come back either in a higher status or a lower one. Hindus believe that we are in this material world to work off our bad karma (our bad deeds) and to perfect ourselves so that we can eventually get to the spiritual world. It may take a number of deaths and rebirths for that to happen, however.
