If Alexander’s victory had been true, why did this historian from Greece write like this? 2) It had also been recorded in the famous medieval epic, Shahnameh by the Persian poet Firdausi that Alexander was defeated by Porus and they became friends. Following facts speak them selves 1) Megasthanes who came to India after the so-called invasion by Alexander has recorded that this country (India) was one which could never invaded by any and which never invaded any. Had Sikander been victorious, at least he could have left some evidences in the form of Monuments, Inscriptions Coins etc. Later on Sikander died due these injuries in his own country.
Due these injuries Sikander and his forces had run for safety. Fact is Porus, had defeated Sikander in Battle and injured him badly. A History, which was influenced by Invaders. We all are aware that we have been reading distorted form of History. And Marshal Zhukov, the famous Russian commander in World War II, said at the Indian Military Academy, Dehra Dun, a few years back, that India had defeated Alexander. However, the facts as recorded by Alexander’s own Greek historians tell a very different tale.
He is still advertised in Indian text-books as the victor in his war with India’s Porus (Puru). British historians used to talk of Alexander as “the world conqueror” who “came and saw and conquered” every land he had visited. It is surprising that these kings do not get so much attention in our history books. Later day muslim rulers just copied these administrative policies Akbar’s famous land revenue policy is made by Raja Todarmal only. In Rajtarangini by Kalhana, we come to know how Kashmir was flourished before invasions. Their greatness is authentically described in chronicles of Fa Hien, Hue en Tsang, Megasthinis, Suleiman etc. The social reforms made by those rulers, the trade and the business policy followed by them made India very prosperous & people called India as a ‘sone ki chidhiya’.
Porus the Great As we all are aware that the golden age of India was most of the times under the Hindu rulers such as Harsha, Chandragupta Maurya, Pulakeshin II, Samudragupta, Raja Bhoj, Cholas, Vijaynagar kings, Pals in Bengal.
