Hiduism is a very ancient religion. Jain religion was established by Bhagwan Mahavir.

Jainism , traditionally known as Jain Dharma (A A), is a spiritual, religious and philosophical tradition of Indian origin dating back at least as far as the 9Th century BC, but believed by Jains to stretch back many centuries into the very distant past. A Jain is a follower of Jinas ("the saints"), human beings who have rediscovered the drama , become fully liberated and taught the spiritual path for the benefit of beings.

Buddhism is a set of teachings described as a religion or way of life. One point of view says it is a body of philosophies influenced by the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, known as Gautama Buddha . Another point of view says it is teachings to guide one to directly experiencing reality . Many scholars regard it as a plurality rather than a single entity. Buddhism is also known as Buddha Dharma or Dhamma , which means roughly the "teachings of the Awakened One" in Sanskrit and Pali.

Hinduism is a religious tradition that originated in the Indian subcontinent. Hinduism is often referred to as San?tana Dharma ( ????? ???? ) by its practitioners, a Sanskrit phrase meaning "the eternal path" or "the eternal law ". Hinduism is the world's oldest major religion that is still practiced. Its earliest origins can be traced to the ancient Vedic civilization . A conglomerate of diverse beliefs and traditions, Hinduism has no single founder.

The main issue of Jainism is the safety of every life form from the harms of man. According to Jains, Moksha is achieved through careful living so that no form of life is harmed.

The main issue of Buddhism is the ending of suffering. According to Buddhists, Nirvana is achieved through living a life void of desire.

Hinduism is so diverse that it is impossible for me to draw anything in a couple of lines.

Hinduism is the oldest religion of India. Buddhism and Jainism were break away group from Hinduism as they objected to animal sacrifice in Hindu religious rites. Their main objective is non violence to any creature. They say that only vapidness is real,which the world would reduce to.

Hinduism believes in the existence of an intelligent, conscious Creator of the universe, whereas both Jainism and Buddhism do not believe in such a principle.

Jainism and Buddhism are considered heresies according to orthodox Hindu philosophy.

However, both Jainism and Buddhism actually adapt or modify the teachings of Vedanta to their own peculiar situations and social setting.

The core difference between Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism is that Buddhism and Jainism have emanated from Hinduism. The philosophy of Jains and Buddhists is nothing but Hindu tenets presented in a different manner.
