War with Porus
Porus was the ruler of the region between Jhelum and Chenab. Alexander had to use maximum energy and intellect to defeat him. Alexander was very much impressed by the bravery of Porus and he befriended him and sought for his help.

Revolt in Alexander’s Army

thnks
thanks for information ….
how it really helps..
hey, you sad that alexander was born in 356 bc at the top of the page but,at the bottem it written as that he he die during return journey in 325 bc
how it is possible?
Bc means before Christ so 35 years bc is earlier than 25 bc. It was an example
It is correct Rafi, you might have noticed BC mentioned there years before Christ means he was born 356 years before the birth of Christ, similarly died 325 years before the birth of Christ. so lived around 31 years.
