The Creator is seen as the ultimate viewer of the game of opposites. In both "good" and "evil" roles one can serve and ascend and learn. Just the path of development is different. Even those who oppose the Creator and seek to destroy Him are ultimately saved by Him in Hindu mythology. A much more merciful and forgiving Creator concept than the Christian one I find.

Hindu does not use such terms. They speak more in terms of the balance of the universe.
You realize "good" and "evil" tend to be used in a rather personal way for most people. That is "good" means "suits me," and "evil" means "does not suit me." To those who have those terms in their religion, they may use a more collective definition, such as "fits what I was taught in Sunday school" or does not. And some philosophers have given rather more objective and serious definitions and tried to defend them, but of course they never convince everyone. That's the nature of philosophy.

Good and Evil is counted in your actions and intentions. Good is being accepting to those who are different from you, filling your life with God and loving everything with all your heart, because it is apart of God. To respect and treat everything as you would like to be.
The Evil is when you do bad things, hate for no reason, kill for no reason. Waste the brain and body God gave you to do un-God-like things.
Try Wikipedia/read the Vedas.
