Question
Why did Demetrius settle in India?
✓
Answer
Bactria became independent of Alexander's successor, Seleucus, from the vast empire of West Asia.
Demetrius, the ruler of that state, conquered Afghanistan, the Punjab, and parts of Sindh on the northwestern border of India and established the Bactrian Greek state in India.
During his reign in India there was a revolt in Bactria.
The result was the establishment of the rebel leader Eukratides in Bactria.
Thus Demetrius settled in India.
