Bramhan in Hinduism is loosely translated as the Supreme God, but the true definition of Brahman is actually an infinite principle/order that underpins this whole universe. But because this Bramhan is a very abstract principle, majority of Hindus prefer to personify Brahman and call it God so that they can relate to it.

Which god?
Hindus don't worship the Abrahamic god. They worship Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesha, Krishna and so on.
Update: I like the Hindu concept of Brahman, but it is a pantheistic concept not a monotheistic one. The Abrahamic god is more of a personal deity, a super being basically. Brahman is everything.

As Bhagavan. The word bhagavan is explained thus by Parasara Muni: one who is full in six opulences, who has full strength, full fame, wealth, knowledge, beauty and renunciation, is Bhagavan, or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. While Krishna was present on this earth, He displayed all six opulences. Therefore great sages like Parasara Muni have all accepted Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Krishna also means: "The all attractive" because He attracts everyone with His opulence. In this material world if one is rich, he is attractive, if he has beauty, he is attractive, if has knowledge, he is attractive, etc. And Krishna posses all six, in full, therefore He is God, nobody else can posses all at once, neither in full.
Krishna is the Supreme Brahman. The one all pervade energy called Brahman is but His personal effulgence emanated from His transcendental body.
Hinduism is very complex and mixed with so many philosophies, each Hindu worship different manifestations of God, Sri Krishna. Some think that Brahma is God, some think that Shiva is God, some think that Ganesha is God, etc. etc. But Krishna is the source and origin of all gods. As He states in Bhagavad gita: http://bhagavadgitaasitis.com/10/8/en

The Universe itself is God, both the manifested visible universe and the un-manifested invisible Universe
Creator and Creation are one and the same

They wud most likely see god as a false god and their gods the "true" gods. It is basically their belief of polytheism vs. monotheism.
