No. In Jain understanding, Jainism is an independent and distinct śramaṇa tradition, not formed from Hinduism.

It is true that some terms are shared in Indian spiritual culture, such as:

• moksha — liberation
• karma — bondage by actions
• samsara — cycle of birth and death

But in Jainism, these words have Jain-specific meanings and are explained according to Jain philosophy.

For example:

• Moksha in Jainism means the soul becoming completely free from all karma and attaining siddha state.
• Karma in Jainism is a subtle material bondage attached to the soul.
• God/creator concept is not central in Jainism the way it is in many Hindu traditions.
• Jainism follows the teachings of the 24 Tirthankars, especially Lord Mahavir in the current era.

So, while there are shared Sanskrit terms and cultural overlaps, Jainism is not a branch of Hinduism. It has its own दर्शन, सिद्धांत, आचार, and moksha-marg.
