Alexander the Great\u2019s Invasion of India and Battle with King Porus<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Battle of the Hydaspes and Punjabi Resistance<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>
By: Dr. Tarlochan Singh Nahal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work represents the first comprehensive study and analysis of Alexander\u2019s invasion of India by a researcher of Indian origin. It has 120 illustrations including more than 30 maps to help the reader. The account not only describes the battle led by Punjabi King Porus of the small kingdom of Jehlum, but also highlights Alexander\u2019s clashes with other prominent tribes from Swat, Punjab, and lower Sindh. The Indians [Punjabis], as per Plutarch, \u201cblunted the edge of the Macedonians\u2019 courage.\u201d His army mutinied and he was forced to make a U-turn in Punjab. Alexander\u2019s greatness is marred by the massacre of almost 500,000 people in Europe, Persia and India. The events of his personal life and massacre of his entire family in an internecine war resemble the drama of a classic Greek tragedy.

\u201cAuthor has made a comprehensive study of the subject by delving deep into both ancient and modern sources. With his deep insight, he has presented a new perspective on the fierce historical battle that took place between Alexander the Great and the brave Punjabis led by Porus. It is an immensely valuable addition to the less-known period of ancient Indian history. He has accomplished his very valuable, documented stupendous task with great passion.\u201d <\/>
