I love the debate in ancient historical studies, that argues if those people that were "conquered" by Alexander and were subjects to later rulers (even though the often tried to deviate from this status by violent or nonviolent means), simply adapted to the new influence not because it was necessary, but because it was fashionable.

Just like a lot of people are fascinate by American culture today and therefore try to learn English or watch Hollywood movies.
