The had been on the warpath for ten years and had had enough wanting to take their loot and go home. Alexander thought India was the eastern end of the world and wanted to conquer it all before he turned back and took Western Europe which he thought was the western end of the world. Thus he would have conquered the world. Now he had no other option but to turn back, but took his revenge on them by marching them through the Gedrosian desert back to Babylon, and many of them died there.

Alexander's troops were exhausted after years of continuous campaigning and battles. They had already marched thousands of miles through harsh terrain and faced numerous challenges. Additionally, they were homesick and longed to return to their families and familiar territory. The troops' morale was low, which led to their refusal to march further into India.
