History of India, 10 BC, Establishment of the Indo-Parthian kingdom
The Indo-Parthian kingdom was established in 10 BC in the northern region of the Indian subcontinent, and was a successor to the Indo-Scythian kingdom.
The Indo-Parthians were a dynasty of Central Asian origin that were related, both ethnically and culturally, to the Parthians who had established the Parthian Empire in Persia.
Their kingdom was initially centered in the regions of Punjab and Sindh, but later expanded to include much of the northern and western parts of the Indian subcontinent.
The Indo-Parthian kingdom was ruled by a number of rulers, including Gondophernes, Pacores and Sanabares.
The kingdom was at its height under the rule of Gondophernes, who was known for his patronage of Buddhism and for his construction of many Buddhist monasteries in the region.
The Indo-Parthian kingdom was a powerful force in the region, and was able to hold back the expansion of the Kushan Empire in the northwest.
The Indo-Parthian kingdom was eventually conquered by the Kushan Empire in the 1st century AD.
