Alexander invaded India and later withdrew, but then the Greek Bactrian Generals invaded and conquered India making it a Greek State.

    wait wat

    Bodhidharma was a the son of a Tamil Brahmin ruler
    Dumoulin comments on the three principal sources. The Persian heritage is doubtful, according to Dumoulin: "In the description of the Lo-yang temple, bodhidharma is called a Persian. Given the ambiguity of geographical references in writings of this period, such a statement should not be taken too seriously."[71] Dumoulin considers Tan-lin's account of Bodhidharma being "the third son of a great Brahman king" to be a later addition, and finds the exact meaning of "South Indian Brahman stock" unclear: "And when Tao-hsuan speaks of origins from South Indian Brahman stock, it is not clear whether he is referring to roots in nobility or to India in general as the land of the Brahmans."[72]

    These Chinese sources lend themselves to make inferences about Bodhidharma's origins. "The third son of a Brahman king" has been speculated to mean "the third son of a Pallavine king".[12] Based on a specific pronunciation of the Chinese characters 香至 as Kang-zhi, "meaning fragrance extreme",[12] Tsutomu Kambe identifies 香至 to be Kanchipuram, an old capital town in the state Tamil Nadu, India. According to Tsutomu Kambe, "Kanchi means 'a radiant jewel' or 'a luxury belt with jewels', and puram means a town or a state in the sense of earlier times. Thus, it is understood that the '香至-Kingdom' corresponds to the old capital 'Kanchipuram'."
    he would not have known "Pankration" as he wasn't from the region Greeks influenced.
    The martial art style he would have known would have been "Kalaripayatu" and Kung-Fu is likely derived from that.

    No, Greeks were not in China. And about the Caucasian mummies in Xinjiang, that region was on the fringes of Chinese civilization, to this day, ethnic groups in that region are Caucasian-Mongoloid hybrids. They are acting like civilization was introduced to China by those mummies who lived 2000 miles away from the heartland of China, when China was far more advanced than any of the tribes of that region.
    They want to believe every great civilization is the White man's creation and domain.

    I know that, but they were just Greeks


    Also it barely had anything to do with birth India. It mostly consisted of iran, Afghanistan, Tajikstan, Pakistan, etc

    We have to get ancient egyptians and Levantines to start claiming everything Greek to show them how fucking annoying that is.

    'They' - slightly vague, who be they?

    This article doesn't say Ancient Greece created everything that was ever in China past, present and future or that every Civilisation that ever existed ever was created by da whyte man (we shouldn't be using 'white' pre-16th century anyway tbh), it just says that Ancient Greece may have inspired the statues. Not that I believe it but it's still interesting.

    So, don't blame Greeks if other nationalities uses us a click-bait.
