The spring of 330 B.C. Alexander left Persepolis, after burning the palace as symbolic revenge for the Persian destruction of the Acropolis in 480. Alexander chased the fleeing Darius, who was eventually killed by his entourage. Alexander honoured the corpse, and then established his succession to Darius as Lord of Asia by securing the north-eastern states. By 326 Alexander was heading for India.

Did Alexander the great discover India?
I am not quite sure exactly what is meant by that question but I believe it is a no. India was already discovered and known of. Alexander, after conquering Persia, set out to conquer India. He arrived in the plains of northwestern India, fought a brutal battle, and conquered that part of India. He planned on marching on to conquer more of India to the east, but his army refused to go on since they were fought year after year non-stop. So Alexander had to turn back and didn't go any further into India.
Where in India did Alexander the Great turn his back to?
The story is that he was set on conquering India, and his army jacked up on him at the Jhelum River, having been fighting for ten years and wanted to go home. It was just as well as King Chandragupta was in the process of conquering eastern India and had an army which would have crushed Alexander's force if they had collided. We have to wonder if Alexander's army had heard about this and it was this factor as well as homesickness which provoked their mutiny.

Why didn't Alexander go past the Indus River?
After ten years of warfare conquering the Persian Empire, his army had had enough and wanted to go home, and mutinied, seeing no reason to pursue Alexander's obsession with conquering the whole east of the world, which he thought ended in India. Alexander revenged himself on them by taking them back home on the coast road, where desert and hostile tribes killed off most of them.
