Indian soldiers, particularly Indian archers and spearmen, were drafted into the Persian forces and they fought for the Persians on the European soil in the fifth century B.C. The dresses of the Indian struck strange to the Greeks and quickened the interest of the people of the Hellas in the homeland of these strange folks and its fabulous wealth.
Persian officials found employment in the Indus provinces and naturally they made their presence felt in diverse ways. The introduction of the Aramaic and Kharosti scripts and the Yavanani alphabet so called by Panini are supposed to have been the result of this contact. According to some writers use of certain phrases in the Asokan inscriptions and certain features in the Maurya architecture betray Persian influence, this is highly debatable.
Macedonian:
The invasion of Alexander was in itself no more than an episode in the Indian history; its significance lying only in the establishment of a simple medium of communication between the Indian and the western cultures. The claim that Alexander had opened India to the West is untenable, for opening of India to the West can be traced to earlier times.
The Persian invasion and conquest of a part of India had already unveiled India to the West and the Greeks had seen with amazement the strange dresses of the Indian soldiers who fought for the Persians on the European soil.
