DescriptionScythian culture was all warlords carving out territories, that’s what they did. Satraps (Kshatrapa) were major vassals, generals, if you will, or governors. A satrap was sent into northwestern India, which includes parts of modern Pakistani Baluchistan and Mumbai, where they ruled for several centuries. Contemporary rivals were first the Satahavanas, later the Guptas, who destroyed them. Colonial ventures were undertaken in Java and Sumatra.
