BACKGROUND:
PRELIMINARY GREEK PRESENCE IN SOUTH ASIA:
1N 328 BC, ALEXANDER THE GREAT CONTINUED HIS CAMPAIGN EASTWARD AND CONQUERED THE NORTHWESTERN PART OF THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT AS FAR AS THE HYPASIS RIVER, AND ESTABLISHED SATRAPIES AND FOUNDED SEVERAL LARGE SETTLEMANTS, INCLUDING BUCEPHALA; HE TURNED SOUTH WHEN HIS TROOPS REFUSED TO GO FURTHER EAST.
THE INDIAN SATRAPIES OF THE PUNJAB WERE LEFT TO THE RULE OF PORUS AND TAXILES, WHO WERE CONFIRMED AGAIN AT THE TREATY OF TRIPARADISUS IN 321 BC, AND THE REMAINING GREEK TROOPS IN THE SATRAPIES WERE LEFT UNDER THE COMMAND OF GENERAL EUDEMUS. AFTER 321 BC EUDEMUS TOPPLED TAXILES, UNTILL HE LEFT INDIA IN 316 BC ANOTHER GENERAL ALSO RULED OVER THE GREEK COLONIES OF THE INDUS: PEITHON, SON OF AGENOR, UNTILL HIS DEPARTURE FOR BABYLON IN 316 BC.
THE INDO-GREEK KINGDOM
WAS A HELLENISTIC KINGDOM COVERING VARIOUS PARTS OF THE NORTHWEST REGIONS OF THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT DURING THE LAST TWO CENTURIES BC, AND WAS RULED BY MORE THAN 30 KINGS, OFTEN IN CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER.
DURING THE TWO CENTURIES OF THEIR RULE, THE INDO-GREEK KINGS COMBINED THE GREEK AND INDIAN LANGUAGES AND SYMBOLS, AS SEEN ON THEIR COINS,
(THIS IS AN EXAMPLE)
AND BLENDED ANCIENT GREEK, HINDU AND BUDDHIST RELIGIOUS PRACTICES, AS SEEN IN THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL REMAINS OF THEIR CITIES AND IN THE INDICATIONS OF THIEIR SUPPORT OF BUDDHISM.
