From the article: The Greeks then founded the city of Taxila. Are there any sources for this? From what I know, Taxila (or Takshashila as it was called) was a city that had already been there for quite long before Alexander came to India.
Did Alexander really 'conqure' India? An alternative view by Prof. Dinesh Agrawal which refutes the view that Alexander won any war on Indian soil: http://sify.com/itihaas/fullstory.php?id=13225593
That is a pseudo-historical site. You can check out any of the ancient sources which he refers to, none of them supports this rambling in the least. Then of course, Alexander did not conquer India in its modern sense, being restricted to Punjab in the north-west corner. Sponsianus 01:22, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
This article is redundant. The material is already discussed at length under the Alexander and Indo Greek articles. There is no "Persian Conquests in Greece" article. This article should be deleted.
