[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by coolnight: [qb] ''The history of Greeks in the area is quite interesting. When Alexander entered the HinduKush region in 327 B.C., Greek settlements were already in the area. By 180 BC, as the Mauryas fell into decline, the Greek Kings of Bactria took control of Western Punjab and Gandhara up to the Indus River. Under King Menander (d.130 B.C.) the Greeks had their capital at Taxila. The center of Greek culture in the area was Charsadda near Peshawar (Woodcock,1966). Many Greek terms were probably already incorporated in the Prakrits of Northern India-Pakistan and Central Asia. Here the Greeks minted their coins with Kharoshthi, Brahmi and Greek inscriptions. '' Ethnically who were the ancient Greeks? Were they Ethnically European people? How much genetic impact did Alexander the Great leave in South Asia? There seems to be no reaL idea on which groups in South Asia are carries or Greek genes from Alexander the Great's time. There have been attempts to claim groups like Kalash/Kashmiris are descendants of Alexander the Great’s but so far genetic research has dismissed these claims http://world.greekreporter.com/2015/06/02/new-study-denies-the-greek-origin-of-kalash-tribe-in-pakistan/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4973929/ [/qb][/QUOTE]These papers are fine but you will not understand the role of Pre-Alexander Greeks in Afghanistan and-Pakistan until you read the paper: Greek influence on Sanskrit, https://www.academia.edu/1898458/Greek_influence_on_Sanskrit [/QB][/QUOTE]
