Question

Chronological of the invaders of ancient india

Answer 1

We only look at Alexander & Muslim empires as foreign invaders but there have been so many others before them!!!

India has been fortunate to be girth by ocean on two sides and the Himalayas in the north. However, the Khyber pass on the border between Afghanistan & Pakistan has been India’s Achilles heel since ancient times. And almost each time, the invader has been victorious. All 3 battles of Panipat were won by the invaders.

So yes, here’s your chronology, not counting waves of prehistoric migration
