തക്ഷശില ആസ്ഥാനമാക്കി ഭരിച്ച ഇന്ത്യയിലെ ആദ്യ ശക രാജാവ് മൗവെസ്, അഥവാ മോഗ ആയിരുന്നു. മൗവെസ് ഗാന്ധാരത്തിൽ ശക ശക്തി ഉറപ്പിച്ചു[1], ക്രമേണ തന്റെ സ്വാധീനം വടക്കു പടിഞ്ഞാറൻ ഇന്ത്യയിൽ വ്യാപിപ്പിച്ചു. അസെസ് ഒന്നാമൻ, അസിലിസെസ്, അസെസ് രണ്ടാമൻ തുടങ്ങിയ രാജാക്കന്മാർ മോവസിന്റെ പിൻ‌ഗാമികളാണ്[1].
ചൈനീസ് ഗോത്രങ്ങളുമായി ഉണ്ടായ യുദ്ധങ്ങളെത്തുടർന്ന് മദ്ധ്യ ഏഷ്യർ നടത്തിയ പലായനത്തിന്റെയും കുടിയേറ്റത്തിന്റെയും ഫലമായി ഉണ്ടായ സംഭവങ്ങളിൽ ഒന്നുമാത്രമാണ് ഇന്തോ-സിഥിയൻ യുദ്ധങ്ങൾ. ഈ മദ്ധ്യ ഏഷ്യൻ പലായനങ്ങൾ ബാക്ട്രിയ, കാബൂൾ, പാർഥിയ, ഇന്ത്യ, മുതൽ പടിഞ്ഞാറ് റോം വരെയുള്ള രാജ്യങ്ങളുടെ ചരിത്രത്തിൽ ചിരമായ മാറ്റങ്ങൾ വരുത്തി.
