Good questions
1: If Noah's flood was local (ie black sea, somewhere in mesopotamia or Africa) then he really didnt have to take hindus on board. Or their gods. And you cant go by a strict chronology of the Genesis account. There are numerous, nemerous gaps within them. Plus hinduism may not have been around when Noah was in his Ark.
2: If the flood was local, and happened the far distant past, then there is no conflict here.
