[IMG16,Obtained info]
1. Reason for a change in religious outlook
That is a tough one... The teaching of Buddhism forbid the worship of idols. But regardless, many statues of Buddha and pagodas were obviously built. The question here is why... You'll need to search the theology library for this one.

2. Establishment and expansion of the Kushan empire
In ancient times there was an empires called Kushan in the north west of India, a glorious place. Their first King was called Kujula Kadphises. He took the Kabul region from its then ruler, the Greek King Hermaeus, and went on to expand his territory into Gandhara and even part of the Pathian Empire.

3. Height of the Kushan empire
The Kushan empire is said to have been at its height during the reing of King Kanishka, great-grandson of Kujula Kadphises. When Kanishka attempted to expand India's territory into the east he encontered Buddhism, and started to have Buddhist statues made in Gandhara. These statues then started to spread out into the world from there.

4. To Diu
I see. It looks like the rule of King Kanishka is definitely when Buddhist statues started to be made. But why did this king decide to ignore the Buddhist precepts concerning the worship of idols...? Gandhara is in the interior of north west India, with Diu as its closes town on the coast. How about continuing your investigation there?

5. Influence of culture from the west
The reason why King Kanishka made Buddhist statues...? Apparently, before the Kushan Empire took shape, there was a country neighbouring them that was ruled by people from far to east. The people of that country also worshipped idols. The people of the Kushan Empire are likely to have been exposed to and aware of that culture.

6. The face of Buddhist statues
When the king of a culture exposed to the idea of worshipping idols converts to Buddhism, I'd say it is only natural that Buddhist statues would appear. Apparently, the faces of the statues made at that time look European in nature, too... Ah, sorry, i do get carried away sometimes. What exactly did you want to know?

7. Vessel of King Kanishka bones
Ah, you're looking for the oldes Buddhist statues you can find? Then you need to go to the temple of Goa and view the vessel in wich King Kanishka's bones are interred. No need to worry! King Kanishka's desire to bring physical form to Buddah is fully presented in that vessel. You'll see.

8. Vessel of King Kanishka
Apparently there is something with a connection to King Kanishka in the temple of Goa - the vessel is wich his bones are interred. What could that have to do with Buddhist statues? The only way to find out is to see it for yourself.
