While following a Soc.culture.usa ( try deja to find that article
or yahoo)
discussion about Brahmanisms
I managed to reach an excellent website with story I have a part of it:
`Collapse of the Brahmanist Empire in South
Asia', by Khshatrapa Gandasa. On Sakastan or Sakasthan, the homeland o
f
Indo-Scythic peoples.

<meta name="description" content="The Origin of the Saka races of Indi
a.">

<meta name="keywords" content="sakasthan, sakastan, sakasthana,
khalsastan, khalistan, sikh, maurya, anti-brahmanisn, anti-brahminism,
non-brahmanism, sikh, sikhism, khalistan, khalsa, hindutva, hindu

So you can find it.

The point is that Goths==India Invaders of 100 a.d. more or less.
Some goths went west and north, others east and south.

It wasn't exploratory, it was an invasion.
