Indo - Scythian
Indo – Scythians or Indo – Sakas were a branch of Scythians who settled in north-western India and Central Asia. Due to the westward movements of Da Yuezhi clan from China they had to migrate southwards and settled in North – West Indian Territory (today’s Afghanistan and North Pakistan). They further expanded towards Indus Valley and Western India. The dynasty founded by them is known as Indo-Scythian.
Placing Indo-Scythian rulers on a definite timeline is difficult, as no concrete evidence mentioning their ruling period is available. Whatever information is acquired is relative and is acquired through few inscriptions and a varied range of coins.
