Check out  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-greek "Indo-Greeks"

In Indian literature, the Indo-Greeks are described as Yavanas (in Sanskrit),[134][135][136] or Yonas (in Pali)[137] both thought to be transliterations of "Ionians". In the Harivamsa the "Yavana" Indo-Greeks are qualified, together with the SakasKambojas, Pahlavas and Paradas as Kshatriya-pungava i.e. foremost among the Warrior caste, or Kshatriyas. The Majjhima Nikaya explains that in the lands of the Yavanas and Kambojas, in contrast with the numerous Indian castes, there were only two classes of people, Aryas andDasas (masters and slaves).
