Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Zoroastrians have lived in the Indian subcontinent since the Sasanian period. The Zoroastrians also moved to India in successive migrations during the Islamic period. The initial migration following the Muslim conquest of Persia has been canonized as a religious persecution by invading Muslims.
Detailed explanation-2: -When Zoroaster marked the initial success of his prophetic mission in 588 BC, converting King Vishtaspa to become a Zoroastrian, he was already forty years old. Since he lived seventy seven years, it is generally agreed among scholars to date him at 628-551 BC.
