Could it be that paganism is actually hinduism since hinduism origin is far older than documented history?

It depends on the Paganism, but in general, they do share a lot of similarities. They both believe in karma, reincarnation, and the power of the "third eye." In Wicca, for the most part, all of the separate gods and goddesses are just facets of the Great God and Goddess. In Hinduism, all of the gods are just facets of the godhead. So, yes, there are some similiarties.

If you ask a seventh grade Global Histories teacher then they are the same thing.
Pagan ideas,(seeing divinity in nature, and animals and the such), are found in almost every non-Abrahamic tradition. Pagans however are polytheists. Hindus are not.

both are typically polytheist, but that's about it. Depends on the branch of paganism though, some or bi-theist or a few even monotheist with a female deity, the others are spirits.

As I percieved, Pagan is a word similar in sense as the Kafir used by muslims, meaning those who don't believe in God ! Of course for them God is ONLY that which they think to be !!!

Yes, any belief outside the belief in Jesus Christ is false.
