Historical background
The Saka were Iranian-speaking horse nomads of Central Asia, closely related to the Scythians; the Persians gave this name to all steppe nomads. They fought as horse archers and with the battle axe and served in the Achaemenid army. From the 2nd century BC Saka pushed as far as north-western India and founded Indo-Scythian kingdoms there.
