Hinduism was based on Caste System in Ancient times, which made social hereditary system. This system made familial occupation and rituals more and more diverse and specialised.
Gautama Buddha's teachings challenged Hinduism by not acknowledging a hereditary priesthood. He disagreed with some of the sacrificial rituals which were performed during his time.

Not all schools of Hinduism actively seek converts. The International Society of Krishna Consciousness is known for proselytizing, but some people consider a hereditary priesthood important in Hinduism.
Hinduism has a caste system which they believe is determined at birth and based on existing Karma accumulated from previous lives.
There is nothing.
