Thank you for a fine introduction to Greco-Indian settlement and cultural influences in this region.
I am making a website on just this subject. The claim to divinity by Alexander ‘the Great’ has made a lasting impact, through the Hellenes of Gandhara, transmitted along the ancient trade routes to China and Greco-Roman world.
I think we will be hearing much more of ancient Gandhara in the future.
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP.
While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
