Forrgetten Heroes of Land

These are the fact about Porus

His real name was Amritatma.He was a splendid looking fellow. 6ft 03 inches tall. His arm was long and strong his skin was black and hair long jet black. He laughs like a loin and raises his chair like an elephant. In meeting he told Alexander that he will teach him to be the King.Alexender was surprised about this statement and said are in your senses he said I am.

What I meant, Alexander is that you are the supreme warrior, counqurer, even liberator but you have not yet king?

The Alexander asked what a difference?

The difference between the sea and the storm.

The storm is brilliant and terrifying .godlike, it looses its bolts of power, rolling over all in its path and passing on While the sea in contrast remain profound eternal unfathomable. The tempest hurls its thunder and lightning; the ocean absorbs all unmoved o you understand my friend you are storm and I am sea

During the war Porus fought magnificent He struggled on a top his war elephant after suffering numerous wounds the toll of which was severe threat when at battle close he at last dismounted he could not remount on his own but had to be lifted so men said by the beast own trunk.

Alexander asked Porus how I should treat you when I had caught up in person He replied like a King

The fact is that Porus defeated Alexander,

But Alexander‘s chronicler feared the wrath of his king

The fact is that Alexander could not go past Bais

Because he feared his army and his army feared Porus

Three facts appear to be widely acknowledge

1)      Alexander encounters stiff resistance

2)      He swerved to his right to skit Porus kingdom and south towards the confluence of the five rivers and Multan

3)      That Porus retained his kingdom and remain its King after the battle. In fact Alexander even ceded some more territory to him

 

Fact is that Porus men must have continued to harass the invader during his journey south along the right bank of the Chenab resulting ultimate in the loss of moral Alexander troops that lead to mutiny and return to the banks of Beas that is before proceeding much further towards India In other wards even in the battle of Jhelum was stand off between Alexandra and Porus the invading army was so overwhelmed that it finally dictated Alexander to give up India invasion

As you all know the Porus was Janjua his tribes are proudly named their sons Skander on Alexander then their proud ancestor Porus
