History of India, 180 BC, Establishment of the Indo-Greek kingdom

In 180 BC, the Indo-Greek kingdom was established in the northwestern regions of the Indian subcontinent.

The Indo-Greek kingdom was founded by Demetrius, a Greek general from Bactria.

This kingdom was ruled by a succession of Greek kings and their descendants for more than two centuries.

During this period, the kingdom extended from modern day Afghanistan to the Ganges in the east and to the Indus River in the south.

The Indo-Greek kingdom was a major center of trade and commerce between India and the Mediterranean world.

The Indo-Greek culture was heavily influenced by Indian culture, and the rulers adopted Hindu religious practices and adopted the title of "King of Kings".

The Indo-Greeks were also known for their patronage of Buddhist art, architecture, and literature, and for the spread of Buddhist ideas in the region.
