Indo-Greeks, Kushanas, Satavahanas

UPSC Prelims frequently tests dynasties, rulers, and territorial extent of post-Mauryan kingdoms through map-based and factual MCQs. Examiners focus on Indo-Greek contributions to art/numismatics, Kushan administrative systems and Silk Route role, and Satavahana trade networks. Common pitfall: confusing overlapping territorial claims and chronologies of these three concurrent kingdoms.
