How did Jainism differ from Hinduism?
Hindus believe in god(Creatorand destroyer).Jains believe that word is running by the combinations of infinite actions and reactions. In Jain belief there is no single body who is driving this world.For Hindus, God gives them happiness or sadness.For Jains, Hapiness and sadness are due to our own actions, and God(or even anyone else) has nothing to do with it.There are many proven grounds which mostly matches between believes of Jainism and today's science.

Jains believe in ahimsa, or nonviolence. To stop the cycle of reincarnation, Jains believe that they must follow the path of ahimsa. If they do not behave as their religion dictates, they believe that their next life could be as a lower animal. Thus they do not kill any animal because it could have been their ancestor, etc. But primarily, because they believe in preventing the suffering of all who feel pain.
