the mauryan empire expanded to cover most of the indian subcontinent, and huge parts of central asia that use to belong to the greeks, including modern day afghanistan and iran as well as other central asian territories. mauryan reached its peak under Asoka the Great, who was able to make peace with the Greeks, after pervious mauryan rulers lead bloody campaigns against them, resulting in Greek/Macedonian defeat (and indian victory).

Exactly, wether or not Alexander and his Greek army would have successfully ursurped the other Indian kingdoms further in we will never know, Porus did fight valiantly but lost. So technically, the Greeks did not loose in India. The only thing they lost there effectively though was their morale and will to continue.

Pashtun is not the correct term to use here but Pathans (are not jews) although we do trace our origin to bani israel. the reason why i said not pashtun was bcoz alot of pashtuns are not pathans (and hence dont trace their ancestory to jewish people.

yes, personally i do. there are different perspectives about this too. But if you look at the facial features and characteristics you will find a similarity between pathans and jewish people. its actually said that pathans are 1 of the 10 lost tribes of israel. on the funny side, a lot of pathans these days are in the loan business.
