Persians brought Hinduism to India, so maybe they're returning the favour

Eh? Persians gave the name "Hindus" to the people living in that area. But they had their own religion, Zoroastrianism. They didn't bring Hinduism because they didn't have Hinduism.
Indians called it hinduism, but it came from iran.
It was then the shared pre-Zorastrian Indo-Aryan Vedic religion.
Uh. Zoroastrianism was a "reform" of Iran's Indo-Aryan religion that was closer to Vedic Hinduism.
