Did Alexander the great discover India?

I am not quite sure exactly what is meant by that question but I believe it is a no. India was already discovered and known of. Alexander, after conquering Persia, set out to conquer India. He arrived in the plains of northwestern India, fought a brutal battle, and conquered that part of India. He planned on marching on to conquer more of India to the east, but his army refused to go on since they were fought year after year non-stop. So Alexander had to turn back and didn't go any further into India.
