Alexander’s invasion resulted in the establishment of Greek settlements in India. It taught the Indian kings the need to be more united among themselves in order to fight off invaders. The skill and discipline of the Greek army inspired the need for a better army.
Many small kingdoms were destroyed, leading to the establishment of a new empire. India thus came into contact with the European world, and land and sea routes to India became well known. The Greek influence on Indian art can be seen in the Gandhara sculptures, as well as in architecture and science. In short, the Greek influence restructured the Indian states and society, and changed the fabric of the North Indian artistic and scientific world.
