The Zoroastrians of Iran moved to India after the coming of Islam. In India the Zoroastrians are known as Parsees. Musicians Freddie Mercury and Zubin Mehta come from the Parsee community

Persia had only a tenuous hold on part of today's Pakistan. At the time of Alexander's takeover of that area, Chandragupta had already begun his drive west to take over all of India, so India was imposing itself on the Persians rather than the reverse. The real long term cultural influences were the Aryan backgrounds of both - the Indo-Iranian peoples.

Persia controlled some of today's Pakistan. However the Persian system of rule was to use existing local governance, with a Persian provincial governor (Satrap) to ensure collection of taxes, promote infrastructure and provide internal and external security. So the Indian civilisation continued almost untouched.
