How did Hinduism developed from Brahmanism and how Jainism and Sikhism developed from Hinduism?

Answer 1

The first break in Hinduism, when a section of the Hindus declared that the performing a Yagna sacrifice - where many animals were originally offered - was an act of apostasy and that the Vedas were not the true embodiment of knowledge. These breakaway Hindus later became the Jains, who for the first time in India (after perhaps the Indus or Saraswati valley civilization) introduced the worship of Images. One instance of such worship is that of the image of the Bahubali who was the son of Rishabha Deva, the first tirthankara. Such Jain shrines with images are found at many places all over India, some of these places are Shravanabelagola, Palitana and Sammed Shikhar.

The Jains like the Hindus (today) practice Moorti Puja (Image Worship). In fact, Moorti Puja is a gift of the Jains to Hinduism. In the Vedic age, Hindus did not practice Moorti Puja. The Gods were the forces of nature who were not personified and they were propitiated through the yagnas.

However, though the Jains were the first to split from the Hindu mainstream, nowadays there is observed among the Jains, a sub-conscious tendency to move into Hinduism. Many Jains allow themselves, whether by indifference or set purpose, to be described as Hindus. Though Jainism, like Buddhism arose as a reform movement directed at the then prevailing form of worship that made up Hinduism. It has in modern times shown a stronger tendency for being reabsorbed into the mother faith from which it sprang.

Answer 3

no Jainism is a slightly smaller branch that was actually derived from Hinduism or at least we think...

Both religions were founded at roughly the same time and it is still unknown who founded Hinduism and thus, unknown about who founded Jainism. However, what we do know is that one of the most early, remote Indian religions called Vedism was definitely founded way before the two so it is most likely that they both derived after Vedism established and both are a probable branch of Vedism which has gone on to become gargantuan faiths; even bigge than Vedism itself!

Answer 4

Brahmanism adopted popular faiths and traditions of that time and transformed into Hinduism. jainism and shikkhism were developed from Hinduism to contradict beliefs that did not fit society at the time.
