Here is the scenario:

Alexander survived his illness in Babylon, goes on to conquer Arabia before heading back east (by boat this time...) with a newly reinforced army and Admiral Nearchus' navy for a rematch in India.

Is there any plausible way by which he can conquer at least northern India before finally succumbing to his wounds and his heavy drinking in the subcontinent? And then have a Macedonian general/satrap establish a durable Hellenistic kingdom that would eventually conquer the remainder of the subcontinent and last for at least a few centuries?

And what would be the effects of such a scenario?
