Do people convert to Hinduism?

Possible, but logically speaking Hinduism is one of the very oldest religions in world. Hinduism says that God is one and he is so holy and pure that nothing matches him. this is same as other religions like Islam and Christianity but Hinduism just after that claims that God has so many encarnations on earth so you worship anything anywhere as it is an encarnation of God. but this concept is illogical in the sense that everything can't be God. Then after belief when we come to practicality hiduism as a religion does not have a well defined guidelines no how to spend a peacefull life. especially the cast system the it has introduced is bad that even its followers don't even like to speak about it. If a women' husband dies what happens to her as per hinduism teachings. Any religion to attract someone to it must offer something more logical and pure teachings close to nature based on justice and equality, so in that regards hinduism does not have anything to offer to the people of other religions especially christianity and Islam. In short if you are talking about a person who has a logical brain then the answer to your question is 'No'

Yes, people can convert to Hinduism. As far as I know, anyone can convert to any religion they want to, so long as they follow the rules/guidelines.

Yes. Especially in the Gaudiya branch of Vaishnava Hinduism (i.e. Hare Krishnas).

Why shouldn't one believe in Krishna and accept that He is the Manifestation of God? I'm not a Hindu, but I believe in Krishna. Even the Bible and Qur'an don't say that there aren't other true prophets out there.
