Best Answer

Jainism and Hinduism are two ancient Indian religions. The word "Jain" is derived from the word Jina, referring to a human being who has conquered all inner passions (like anger, attachment, greed and pride) and possesses Kevala Jnana (pure infinite knowledge).

Followers of the path of the Jinas are called Jains.

Followers of Hinduism are called Hindus.

While there are some similarities and differences between the two religions, the rituals and religious practices of Jainism are different from those of Hinduism.
