Who conquered the Indus valley from King Darius and the Persian Empire?
Bestgirly
Apparently Alexander the great conquered it and gave it to the local King Porus.
Another view:
That is the conundrum. The Persian Empire had ceased to exist by then and Darius had been murdered by his own princes. Alexander was in fact attacking King Porus to strip him of the northern Indus Valley. He allegedly defeated Porus and amazingly gave it back to him and threw in the added gift of the kingdom of his own loyal ally King Taxiles who had helped him defeat Porus. This is a befuddled story which suggests that Alexander didn't defeat Porus or conquer the Indus Valley.
