Don't be so exclusive, India and Persia have had cultural exchange for a long time, there is a lot of borrowing of religious stories and philosophies there. Old vedic gods got exported to Persia, turned into Zoroastrian and Manichean deities and then got reexported as the new Hindu pantheon. Anyway, I am just using this reply to plug sir Charles Elliot's masterclass work on religious history:
Hinduism and Buddhism, An Historical Sketch, Vol. 1 by Charles Eliot - Free Ebook. Fascinating guy, back when the Brits didn't have the BBC to dumb them down to mask enthusiasts. You also failed to mention how hot Indian women are. I mean, not all of them, but the hot ones are so hot.
