actually he came India,in327 bc

The controversy

1) he defeated by pourava

2)Alexander won on pourava with utmost difficulty. pourava is captured and brought to Alexander in chains. Alexander asks him how he wanted to be treated. pourava replied, "Like a king" - his arrogance and pride aroused Alexander's admiration.Promptly, Alexander released pourava, agreed to be his friend, restored his lost kingdom to him.( Europeans believe)

some fact

there was not enough evidence available to show that Alexander had won the battle

Alexander lost many men- he never faced such a big army (with elephant about 200-he never seen)

pourava hold only a very small kingdom entire rest of the Gangetic valley with its multiple kingdoms, and the Magadhan empire downstream. Porus described these in terms of how much bigger they were than his own little kingdom.

they hold 3000 to 6000 war elephant

And so army revolted against continuing for this reason but not for "homesick" as told in history.

The modern day Europeans are still under the influence that Alexander was undefeated.
