As for the proselytizing bit, Hinduism in its present form, does not proselytize, not counting the Hare-Krishna fellows who seem to have their own distinct religion anyway. There are no Hindu equivalent of Evangelists, Jehova's Witnesses and the like. I have no idea what the situation was hundreds of years ago. The dozens of godmen who seem to have huge followings in India may be mentioned, but they don't really sell Hinduism to the non-Hindus. They are more akin to cults whose endeavors target both Hindus and non-Hindus and are primarily a money-spinning operation not allied to Hindu religious insitutions.
