No, the use of the Kharosthi script in ancient India is not due to contact with Greece, but rather due to contact with Persia (Iran).

However, Greek influence in India did lead to:

Greek-style art (e.g., Gandhara School of Art)
Greek script influence on coins and inscriptions during Indo-Greek rule
Spread of Hellenistic culture after Alexander the Great’s invasion
But the Kharosthi script specifically came from Aramaic, which was used in the Persian Empire, not Greek.

Greece contact with India in the use of Kharoshti architecture.

It should be Iran as Kharoshti was formed after the invasion by Achaemenid empire of India.

The Iranian scribes brought into India a form of writing which came to be known as the " Kharosthi".there time period 588-500BC, but Greece ruler Alexander comes India in 326BC.

Then, how the ans is "Greece?

Kharoshti is the script of the Urdu language. Such as devnagri is the script of the Hindi language.

What is Kharosti?

It was generated from Central Asia which includes many countries, so only Iran may not be the right choice.

What is the correct answer? Please explain.

The answer should be Central Asia.

I think Iran is the right answer for this question.
