Some Facts, NEVER talked about by the West, sequenced in order: 0. Alexander was a shameless self marketer and he had a horde of historians , painters and poets embedded in his army who wrote exactly what he wanted...i.e. to portray him larger than his five feet five inches of height. 1. Alexander was a homosexual, just like his father... 2. Porus was a minor king of India, not finding mention anywhere except in the Battle of Hydaspes and that too by western accounts. His actual name was Purushottam or Parvateshwar, and was a Puruvanshi king. He ruled a small kingdom of Paurava in Punjab. He stood a majestic seven feet four inches tall. Note that he also was NOT in good terms with the King of Taxila. 3. King Alexander gave the King of Taxila 25 tonnes of gold which he had looted from Persia, (after the battle of Gaugamela), as a bribe to ally with him against Porus. For he had heard that Porus had 85 elephants in his army and his own Greek army had never battled the war elephant. 4. Alexander has also heard from his wife Roxxane, (the daughter of a Bactrian noble Oxyartus), that the Nandas of the Magadha Kingdom had 6000 war elephants and the Emperor Chandragupta Maurya of the Mauryan Empire had 9000 war elephants. They also had hordes of Tibetan Mastiff dogs who could kill leopards and whip up a booming barking frenzy which terrified men and horses. His cavalry horses would be no match for the mighty elephants. 5. In the bloody battle, at Lilla, Mong on the banks of river Jhelum, Alexander lost his horse Bucephalus, killed by Porus's brother. He also lost his brave Greek General Nicaea too. He indeed had a great loss. Notice that there was NO point in defeating Porus, because that would set the MIGHTY Nandas and Maurya's after him for sure. 6. After the defeat of Ambhi, the king of Taxila, he sent his wife Roxana to tie a rakhi on Porus, to be his sister. (An old Indian custom.) It now became Porus's responsibility to ensure Alexander was safe. (What a LOSER Alexander was.) NOTE THAT: Then Alexander send his own emissary to sue for peace. There was NO other way he would have got back to Greece in one piece. So its NOT that Alexander returned back Porus' kingdom, because it was never taken away in the first place. He actually even added a few small kingdoms in his "gift" to Porus, which he had captured to add to it. Its not out of kindness but for self preservation. In return Porus gave Alexander a few elephants (with instructions on how to use them in war, lol) and a Tibetan Mastiff. He also gifted some diamonds, of which India was the only source of diamonds in the world till the 19th century. 7. The Greeks did no go back to Greece the same way they came. After consulting Porus, Alexander sailed down the Indus and Jhelum rivers, to prevent ambush (deadly poisoned arrows from hidden tree tops, from where a big percentage of Alexander's army was destroyed) and further encounters with elephants. Actually the Greeks were totally demoralized by this deadly tree top warfare. They were more used to their favourite turf of wide plains, where their own tactics worked. 8. History re-invented says, "the Greek soldiers were HOME SICK and tired." That is when Alexander used to send a percentage of his army back home on leave every month with the loot and plunder. LOL ACTUALLY they were homesick and tired. Just 85 war elephants( of a minor Indian king, who never even deserved a mention in Indian records) made them homesick and cry babies. LOL WORLD SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT: When the western countries, came out from the quaternary ice age in 9500 BC, and were staying in caves, eating raw meat and doing grunt..grunt (LOL), India was a great civilization, with kings staying in palaces, wearing silk and writing poetry in Sanskrit.
