Demetrius entered India in around 180 BCE, and soon the Greeks had possession of North India, right up to the Ganges! Menander I, probably the most important Emperor of the Indo-Greek Empire, found his place in the Indian Buddhist literature through 'Milinda Panha' or 'Milinda Prashna' (The Questions of Milinda). Milinda is the Indianized name of Menander. The text is elaborate with dialogue Menander has with Nagasena, a prodigious Buddhist Monk that Menander comes across while looking for a master who could dispel his doubts related to Spirituality, life, and death, nature of Mind, etc. On the first day of the debate, Nagasena answers all of Menander's questions to Menander's satisfaction. This makes the Emperor take interest in the knowledge of Buddhism. He is so impressed and intrigued towards the faith, that the next day's debate revolves more closely around Buddhism, buddha, and things related to the school of thought. Nagasena successfully satisfies all of Menander's curiosity and the impressed Menander asks Nagasena to take him as a disciple of Buddhism under him. Thus, Milinda Panha states that Menander was converted to Buddhism.
The Debate in Milinda Panha has a striking resemblance to the Platonic Dialogues. It makes one think that the literature marks the conjuncture of the two great philosophical currents of the time - the Greek and the Buddhist.
When Menander died, his subject cities quarreled for his ashes. It shows that the Emperor had made his place in the hearts of Indians.
