Frank lee holt ,an American historian stated about the losing of his of war of hydrapes. In his book Alexander and the Elephant medallions he stated how Alexander was defeated by Porus.And that's why he left India.
@@harleysvideomysteries7885 Then who was right? Greek historians? Greek historians always wrote over the top while praising Alexander. Chinese, Russian and Persian historians and even American historians have written that Alexander lost the battle of hydaspes
@@hemalbhatt4055 give me names!! Following the battle, Alexander founded two cities in this region, one at the spot of the battle called Nicaea (Greek for Victory) in commemoration of his success and one on the other side of the Hydaspes called Alexandria Bucephalus, to honour his faithful steed, which died soon after this battle.. this can only be explained if he won the battle of Hydaspes!! Your weird claim that he lost does not add up
Punjab and kashmir has its own separate history from entire India and alexander the great spiced that up I don't know why y'all take it as india. It like England in entire Europe
this is bullshit story Porus surrendered without fight. Infact Porus made arrangements of 60,000 soldiers across the Jhelum frontier with 500 elephants with poison tusks waiting for the Macedonian army , the Macedonian army was badly hit in the first 4hours of the war due to the arrows shot from the mountains & also getting crushed by elephants but sooner used their reserved army & left flank to fight the war to victory . Porus himself fought the war like a true warrior he killed more than 2000 Macedonians himself. Alexander was impressed by his fighting skills & gave his kingdom back.
Because you were on the banks of the Jhelum 2300 years ago, wasn’t you! The fact a greek got this far and further is stunning.. you’re comment is beyond retarded
@@harleysvideomysteries7885 why are you pressed.. I was correcting the narrator in the video.. not trying to undermine alexs achievement of reaching this far .
@@harleysvideomysteries7885 why didnt alexanders army return to their stronghold bactria or even their ally taxila up north upon "winning" instead they got pushed to newer land of south..where they faced more battles despite the fact his men wanted to go back and had enough.. Alexander couldnt rule porus land and its evident from the fact that he couldnt assign satrape, tax collector for that area.Furthermore his story of winning and talk with porus was written 300 years later by ptolemy. thats a lot of time and that too when greeks needed a legend figure against the rising romans. Alex had to be labeled "the great" later on and a single retreat would have messed up the legend portfolio so it makes sense there was a lot of story writing to give his image a grand uplift.
@@dourbeen Before Alexander got to Porus, he and men already defeated the Achaemenid Empire and found 3000 tons of gold and silver bullions at its treasury at Persepolis. Having seen this staggering amount of wealth in Persia, it made sense for the Macedonians to turn back after battling Porus as there weren't much material wealth await them in the Hindu region. Before reaching India, Alexander's army also pinned down and neutralized the nomadic Saka at Battle of Jaxartes. Those tough northern Iranians were all mounted warrior armed with composite bows. Their descendant later founded the Parthian Empire which was on par with Rome in term of strength.
We hail from the same land. Our ancestors drank from the same rivers. I m not arab, I m a pakistani who are all ethnic indians. But please don't try to distort history. Alexander defeated Porus. Its validated even in Indian sources.
Tell me one thing, if porus won....why did he give access of indus river to Alexander? If porus would have won, the logical thing for him would have been to block access of all rivers and forced alexander back into Hindukush mountains. But we know that didn't happen. And Alexander not only went ahead to River Bias behind Porus, he also managed to navigate Indus. He even managed to build a fleet of ships to transport his army down into the Indus Basin. So the theory of Porus winning over Alexander doesn't make logical sense.
+Filonikis this is what I'm saying... the history you read is written by Greeks only which is distorted. why didn't alexander attacked India after war to porus as he wanted to win the world.
anirudh harit Do not try to change history with unproven theories.All of the historians are saying that Alexander won against Porus.Did he ever lose a battle?No, he didn't.
+Filonikis all historians read only the Greek history which was written by Alexander's slaves... Alexander didn't have that strength that he can win India.
@@Filonikis give me proof you western historyian always fooled world by your diplomatic and propaganda issue based books. I am ask you if porus wanted to win eastern world so why he was left india and Battle of hydaspas was his last invade and why he return there is nothing reason to their army not with him because that times mega super power country and well trained worlds best killer army magadha including porus kingdom present if he was winned india so why he is not used indian army for next china invade. Well right history was that Alexander lossed his invade in indian breaking by king porus you can check the meghasthniz book indica then make video
@@chingariapkaapnaraju History is not about East or West. History is universal and the same for everyone. Honestly, you can read any western or eastern book about the battle of Hydaspes. Alexander not only won but, later on, Macedonians even established the Indo-Greek kingdom.

About Alexander' vs porus real History written by megashthnizs book indica if you can not read real indica book so dont be make fool people in the meghasthnizs book indica clearly mentioned Alexander lossed hydaspas battle.
@@Filonikis western northern country they have no any great work in the past so present era they make fool people by artificial history writing for glorfy himself western culture is propaganda culture always still working to destroy indian culture history western world always against eastern real history and when they historian coming first time in western and india they feels he was wrong. 😂😂😂😂
