India history and geography
Source: academia.edu: The Yona or Yavana Kings of the time of the Legendary King AshokaThe generals of Heracles took over the control of Sivi kingdom and established their rule. After the fall of Troy (1842 BCE), many more Ionians migrated to Afghanistan. Thus, Indo-Greeks and Indo-Parthians came into existence. They have established their authority in entire Afghanistan. During the reign of Ashoka (1765-1737 BCE), these immigrant Ionian kings established a vast kingdom from Armenia to Afghanistan.
Though Yavanas of Afghanistan followed Surya Siddhanta in ancient times but they evolved a distinct siddhanta known as Yavana Siddhanta. Yavanas also claimed the origin of their siddhanta from Maya, the Great Assura because ancient Yavanas inherited Danava customs and culture.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
