Question
Why most of the Greeks, Kushanas & Shakas embraced Buddhism rather than Hinduism when they established their rules in India?

A .  It was easy to access to Indian society by embracing Buddhism
B .  Hinduism was caste ridden and was not able to attract them
C .  Buddhism has risen and it eclipsed Hinduism
D .  A policy of war and violence was to be renounced before embracing Buddhism

Greeks, Kushanas & Shakas had entered India through the North West side. Accepting the local religion would provide them the easiest way to achieve legitimacy of their rule.
