They were descendants of Alexander the Great&#8217;s Greek soldiers who had stayed in the region after his death. The Indo-Greeks ruled over parts of northern India for several centuries, and their culture had a significant impact on the development of Indian art and religion.<\/p>\n<p>The Scythians were a nomadic people from Central Asia who invaded the Indian subcontinent in the 1st century BCE.
