Explanation:

The Greeks were followed by the Shakas. Shakas were divided into five branches.

• One branch of Shaka was powerful in upper Deccan

• The second branch was influential in Punjab with Taxila as its capital

• The third one established its hold over western India

• The fourth branch settled in Mathura

• And the fifth branch settled in Afghanistan

Among these five branches, the only branch to maintain its hold over a long time was the branch which ruled in western India.
