Jhelum River - Battle of the Hydaspes River (325b.C.)

Pakistan / Punjab / Sarai Alamgir /
 river, battlefield
This battle was fought between brave king Porus of Jhelum & Alexander the great.Although the western historians who accompanied the invader as their paid record keepers show this battle as victory of Alexender, but actually Alexender was seriously wounded by a poisonous arrow of forces of Porus the Brave, and most of invading troops suffered from malaria and became disgruntled. Thus Alexender never kept this land of Jhelum under his control rather headed towards Middle East and with in a year died in Alexandria.Long live the Warriors of Jhelum.

  • i agree with you if alexander was that great why did he not continue capturing other empires he's a coward he did not stood for what he said with losing his military against Persia and porus where he lost most of his men he could not continue fighting what most Europeans say is that he died of flue some say he was Poseidon its just a cover up he did died of an arrow wound he lost his first battle he could not continue on Europeans are trying to make there great hero that great he was not European he was Persian blood hes a Persian hero
  • Alexander and his military lost to Porus military. All of the country's are admitting to it historians are as well.
  • True
  • Wake up people of *PAKISTAN* you have great history in your land since pakistan has been made WHAT ???? has been done since then!!!! oh i know 1.NUCLEAR WEAPONS TRYING TO COMPETE WITH INDIA WELL YOUR BEYOND IN THAT 2.BEGGING FOR F-16's FROM THE U.S HERE ON AND THEN and just about in every way having there hands wide open just like having pakistan what they got out of it nothing what they made out of it nothing. -------- STOP IT ------- or beg india to be united as one country which they wont mostly likely accept.
  • Give me a break. His tactics, battles and victories are what made him great. Porus lost ten times what Alexander did, and Porus lost. Deal with it. You ought to brush up on your history. Your knowledge of such is pathetic.
  • Don't try to be defensive history never lies if Alexander was that victorious, he did fled from here and that's proof put on a stamp.
