Map of Central Asia and India c.50 BC |
|
By the period between 100-50 BC the Greek kingdom of Bactria had fallen and the remaining Indo-Greek territories (shown in white) had been squeezed towards eastern Punjab. India was partially fragmented, and the once-tribal Sakas were coming to the end of a period of domination of a large swathe of territory in modern Afghanistan, Pakistan, and north-western India. The dates within their lands (shown in yellow) show their defeats of Greeks, gaining them those lands, but they were very soon to be overthrown in the north by the Kushans while still battling for survival against the Satvahanas of India.
