Did he spend enough time in India to personally leave behind a “legacy”? His army was tired and almost mutinied after the war with Paurava (Porus). His former army general Seleucus invaded Punjab and lost to Chandrgupta Maurya and formed alliances with him. Alexander also left behind soldiers who integrated with the local populace over time.
Greek and Buddhist philosophies “merged” and integrated. There was also a significant impact on art. It was more Greek style.
Don’t the Kalash people of Pakistan claim to be descendents of the Greek soldiers ?

Where was the state of Porus? Eastern Punjab?
