Alexander, the ruler of Macedonia in Greece came to attack India in B. C. E 327. Before the invasion of Alexander, the north western region of India were conquered by the Persian ruler, Cyrus. Following Cyrus, Darius I attacked India and took hold of Sindh and Punjab. The invasions of the Persians and Macedonia resulted in foreign ties and a new script named kharoshti was introduced.
King Bimbisara of Magadha made proclamation of ahimsa prohibiting yagas with cattle sacrifices.
During this period, Buddhism and Jainism evolved against the inequalities that existed in the society. Jainism and Buddhism originated in the sixth century BC.
Jainism propagated by Vardhamana Mahavira and Buddhism by Gautama Buddha gave emphasis to Ahimsa. Prakrit was the language that Mahavira used, while Buddha used Pali language.
