Hinduism is not a religion. It is a way of practice in your daily life called, Sanathana Dharma. Shri Krishna introduced the four varnas (caste) into the society to maintain the order for work. Do you think the brahmins used to earn money? No, they used to beg for alms from the other varnas. They were highly respected as they learnt the Vedas, the shastras and other holy scriptures. They used to teach the other children in the Gurukula. And different rules applied to different varnas to maintain peace and harmony.

In the later stages of the Kali Yuga, with the corrupted minds of the people, everything got destroyed.

Answer:

The rules and the laws earlier made by the Brahmins were very rigid, they were based upon inequality and favoured the Brahmins and kshtriyas. They involved complex rituals and ceremonies which involved the use of the Sanskrit language. The common people could not follow these complex rituals as Sanskrit was not understood by them. Hence, the rules and customs of Hinduism did not make much sense to them and they started following the simpler practices of Buddhism.
