   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seleucid%E2%80%93Mauryan_War#Treaty or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seleucid%E2%80%93Mauryan_War#Treaty ;The Seleucid–Mauryan War was a confrontation between the Seleucid and Mauryan empires that took place somewhere between 305 and 303 BCE,^[2] when Seleucus I Nicator of the Seleucid Empire crossed the Indus river into the former Indian satrapies of the Macedonian Empire, which had been conquered by Emperor Chandragupta Maurya of the Maurya Empire.
The confrontation resulted in a dynastic marriage-alliance between Seleucus and Chandragupta, the gift of war elephants to Seleucus, and the transferring of control over the Indus Valley region and (possibly)^[3] part of Afghanistan to Chandragupta.^[b] The alliance freed Seleucus to turn his attention toward his rivals in the west, while Chandragupta secured control over the areas that he had sought, the Maurya Empire emerging as the dominant power of the Indian subcontinent. 

DJ...2025 + 305=2330 years ago a successor of one of Alexander the Great/Greek kings did fight "pre-India kings" close to where now India borders Pakistan...
The Persian provinces in what is now modern Afghanistan, together with the wealthy kingdom of Gandhara and the states of the Indus Valley, had all submitted to Alexander the Great and become part of his empire. When Alexander died, the Wars of the Diadochi ("Successors") split his empire apart; as his generals fought for control of Alexander's empire. In the eastern territories one of these generals, Seleucus I Nicator, was taking control and was starting to establish what became known as the Seleucid Empire.

"India, after the death of Alexander, had assassinated his prefects, as if shaking the burden of servitude. The author of this liberation was Sandracottos [Chandragupta], but he had transformed liberation in servitude after victory, since, after taking the throne, he himself oppressed the very people he has liberated from foreign domination."
— Junianus Justinus, Histoires Philippiques Liber, XV.4.12-13 ^[7]

DJ, There is NO excuse for killing fellow humans ! Rulers ordering others to kill are NOT working in public service and should go....War is unacceptable and has to end before it ends us....if we fail to learn we are history...
