Abstract

The history of intercultural interaction represents one of the most significant aspects of studying ancient civilizations. The relationship between Bactria and ancient India serves as a notable example of cultural and trade exchanges that profoundly influenced the development of both civilizations. These interactions played a critical role in shaping regional identities, fostering inter-ethnic relations, and disseminating innovative ideas. This article explores key dimensions of the cultural and trade connections between Bactria and ancient India, including the impact of material culture, religious exchanges, and the economic and political factors that facilitated the deepening of these relationships.
