Wire a short note on Invasions from the North West
Answers
One of the causes of the downfall of the Maurya dynasty was the invasion of the Greeks from towards the North-west of India. At that time, the Greeks were called the yavanas by the Indians, the word which was used as a synonym of mlechchha and indicated every foreigner afterwards. The Greek invasion under Alexander had remained limited only up to the Punjab and had failed to affect Indian polity and culture.
But this time the Greeks succeeded in penetrating into India as far as the Ganges-Yamuna-Doab. After the Greeks, the Sakas, the Parthians and the Kushanas also penetrated deep into India towards the East and the South. Thus, these invasions proved more successful and, thereby, more effective. The aim of these invaders was also different from the aim of Alexander.
