[MD] Uncertainty

[Sharath]

Nothing in these link suggest that Buddhist "thought" was influenced
by the Greeks. The other way around seems to be true. If you really
want to know the roots of Buddhism and how they were influenced during
the time of the Buddha it is better you read up on some Hinduism and
the pagan culture that existed then in the whole of India rather than
saying how Buddhism was influenced by greeks or moghuls or for that
matter.

And yes some of the links lie from Greece about the origin of
sculptures. specifically 4 legged chariots in indian art are
attributed to the greeks..which is totally incorrect. Also, the source
of Mahayana buddhism as the northern part of India is debatable.
