Can anyone think of any (semi-)realistic way that India (or at least northern India) could be Hellenized?  Think of a scenario that does not directly involve Alexander the Great.  So that rules him out conquering northern India.

Yes, but I have something more ambitious and extensive in mind:



Now if we can have a Hellenistic state approximating the OTL Gupta Empire's boundaries within the Indian sub-continent, that would be golden.

A stronger, more expansive Indo-Greek kingdom certainly works.  So would a Seleucid Empire under Antiochus III conquering northern India -and staying there long enough for Hellenism to take root and flourish there.
