India was invaded by Alexander the Great thousands of years ago and after hearing about the massive elephant armies of the Mauryas Alexander turned back. To this day sometimes goddess Durga worship has her killing a Greek soldier after this invasion

Keep in mind Alexander won the battle, but his men made him turn home so they could enjoy their spoils of war

He won the battle against the king Porus as a Pyrrhic victory however that was a single Indian kingdom, he hadn’t yet encountered any of the large Mauryan armies
