Chapter-17 Under foreign leadership, at the time when the vast empire of Magadha was being established in North-East India, there was great anarchy and disorder in these provinces. This region was divided into many small states like Gandhara, Kamboja, Bhadra, in such a situation it was natural to attract the attention of foreigners to this part of India. 1. Zoroastrian (Iranian) Invasion: The first foreign invasion of India was carried out in the middle of the 6th century BC by Parsik (Iranian) 'Kurup the Great' (Cyrus II), the founder of the 'Hamani Empire' (558 BC-530 BC). The accounts of classical (Greco-Roman) writers such as Gaya Xenophon, Tesius, Strabo and Arrian are the only evidence of this invasion. At this time there were 2 routes to India from Iran, the first route was from Zedosia and the second via Bactria, Sondiyana and Kabul Valley, reaching Sindh, from the description of Alexander's naval side Niparchus (quoted by Arrian) it is known that the way of Bedosia by Cyrus. The attack was unsuccessful. According to Megasthenia, the Indians were never conquered or entangled in the war by any foreign power except Hickies Dionysov Alexander through the route of the Kabul Party. Thus, according to Nivas and Megasthenes, Cyrus never attacked India. But perhaps Alexander's contemporary writers deliberately ignored the successes of Cyrus to increase the importance of Alexander. The Roman writer 'Pliny' says that Cyrus destroyed the city of 'Apisha' (Afghanistan), it is possible that the second invasion of Cyrus took place from another route in the Kabul valley and he definitely got some success in this. According to Arrian, the Indian states (Ashtak and Asvaka) situated between the Sindh and Kabul rivers gave Cyrus to Cyrus. According to Xenophon written 'Biography of Cyrus' (Cyropedia), 'Cyrus conquered the Bactrians and the Indians and brought them under a vast empire and a king of India sent a messenger with a gift. Perhaps Cyrus had conquered the Hindukush and Kabul Pati, especially the Indian tribes of Gandhara (Ashtak and Ashmaka) in ancient India, the new survey invasion. According to Ugly Ko, died from wounds sustained in the battle with the Lasius' Indians. From Darius I (522 BC - 486 BC): - From the three records of the reign of Darius I, Behistun, Persipolis and Naksh-e-Rum, it is known that Darius I had more success than Cyrus in the Indian campaign. received. This inscription is in Persian language and Kalaakshar script. The Behtun inscription (519 BC) mentions 23 provinces of the empire of Dara I. In this there is mention of 'Shatagu' (Sapta Sindhu) and 'Gadar' (Gandhara), 'Harvati' (Arafosia, S.E.Afghanistan) 'Maka' (Makran coast of Baluchistan). In the Persepolis/Hamdan inscription (518 BC - 515 BC) and the 'Nax-i-Rustam' inscription (515 BC), 'Gadar' (Gandhara) along with 'Hindu' (Indus) get mentioned. Thus it is clear from the archival evidence that 518515 BC. Dara I conquered the Gandhara and the Indus river valley in the middle of this way Daryavahu (Dara I) was clearly the first successful foreign invader. It is clear from his inscriptions that Gandhara, Kamboj, western Punjab and the whole of Sindh i.e. the area west of the Indus river was under the authority of Dara I. (516 BC) This archival evidence is also confirmed by the description of the father of history 'Herodotus'. India was the 20th province of Dara's empire, it was the most populous region and it gave Dara the third part of his total revenue. was received. This amount was equal to 360 talents (a measure of currency and weight) of gold powder (10 lakh pounds).
