No, they were very diverse. The Empire stretched from today's Libya in the west to Pakistan in the east. They represented a wide variety of ethniciities, languages and cultures, different from those of today, but just as diverse. And thwhile the Persians tried to encourage civilising influences, they left local people to their own leadership style and culture, under Persian provincial control. They did introduce Aramaic as a lingua franca to facilitate communication, but the bulk of the peoples retained their own politics, organisation and customs and language.

What did Alexander the great do with the people he conquered?
I believe he did the same as the Roman conquerors--the conquered people were assimilated into their society. Shortly, Persian people were marrying Greeks, etc. Alexander's armies left trusted politicians and army leaders, army units, and of course the families of the soldiers who trailed along with them to the place recently conquered. While I am sure many people were killed, maimed, and/or injured by the Persian armies, the surviving people tried to learn the Persian language and societal rules, if they wanted to get anywhere in Persian courts and high circles.

What effect did Persian invasion have on India?
After the first invasion of Persians, Indian kings felt the necessity of united strong empire to keep away these foreign invaders. The Persian easy invasion in India and Indian empires' defeat to defend their frontiers showed the political weakness of Indian empires. Permanent settlement of foreigners like Persians, Greeks and Turks, on Indian ground might be one of the main reasons for the easy invasions of foreigners. Persian invasion had a very strong impact on the Indian sculptors and architects. The engravings of animals and birds on Asoka's pillar definitely show the effect of Persian on Indian art. Since after the first Persian invasion, Indians and Persians began to trade very smoothly. Many scholars believe that Khraoshth script, written from right to left hand, was borrowed from Persian people. Indian and Persian scholars and philosophers exchanged their views. This interchange of Indo-Persian culture brought effective changes in the people outlook. Peoples from both sides became sympathetic for each other and became broad minded.
