- Gandhara was favourably situated on the trade route that linked India and Central Asia.
- It had close cultural connections with India from the ancient period of Janapadas till the introduction of Islam.
- Whether it was the invaders from Central Asia, or the Buddhist monks sent out by Emperor Ashoka, or the Chinese monks traveling to India, all had to pass through Afghanistan.
- Thus, there were close cultural associations between the Gandhara region and India before the advent of Islam.
