Hindush (Old Persian: ππ‘π―π’π HidΕ«Ε‘) was an administrative division of the Achaemenid Empire in the lower Indus Valley. Established through the Persian conquest of the Indus Valley in the 6th century BCE, it is believed to have continued as a province for approximately two centuries, ending when it fell to the Macedonian Empire during the Indian campaign of Alexander the Great. According to the Greek historian Herodotus, it was the "easternmost province" governed by the Achaemenid dynasty.
