Another map of Achaemenid empire's greatest extent is found which is not including all india in it. I think the previous map is not right.

Wrong Information, Persian never ruled/controlled India.
PERSIA did rule some part of india but for a small portion of time..... at that time india included area known as pakistan today and some part of afghanistan too..... then this area was invaded by alexander and he did not penetrated further.... historians still debate whether he was defeated by porus or not.... but most say he defeated porus... anyways this area of present day pakistan and afghanistan was once again won by chandragupta mauryaMaybe they invaded india for a short time period and then gupta empire continued.
I request indian members to post some information about south indian empires also.

That would go kinda off topic,
This is just an overall of all the empires Iran controlled.
The reason the word "stan" is so common from India, to Kazakhstan, to Greece, to Egypt is because of mass Iranian influence.
Known about this portion.
But i don't think he really defeated porus.
Please if you have the info share it. I heard they use to have very strong empires and they defeated very strong opponents.
even i think porus defeated alexander but this is debatable...... moreover i thought if i talk of hindu king porus defeating alexander dat might stir a different kind of debate altogeder.... but its heartening to see pakistanis starting to take pride in dere history.... kudos to new beginning
stan/sthan has proto Indo-Iranian origin, that's why you find it from Central Asia to East Asia.

As far as i know, Persia expanded its boundaries up to India. But the Persian Empire like Alexander the Great, didn’t arrive to the center of present India but to present day Pakistan and up to the borders of present India..But never in Indian history was there a kingdom that ruled the whole of India. These different kingdoms that were established in different parts in India created different aspects of Indian history for different regions of India.
