No, the last one was the British and the Dutch East India Trading
Company stuff. Now, did Gandasa actually say "Goths" or did he say
"Scytians?" To say that the Scythians invaded India is not the same

Yes, it was a migration/conquest, but I believe that the Goths and the
Anglo-Saxons, while both Germanic, are not the same people.
