  • Alexander conquered almost all kingdoms in Kabul, Sindh, and Punjab. However, not all Indian Kings surrendered to Alexander easily. 
  • Many fought with great valour. One of them was King Porus. On the bank of Jhelum, Alexander and King Porus confronted each other and there was a fierce battle between them. 
  • Porus was defeated but Alexander and his army were greatly influenced by his valour. The Greeks were influenced by the use of elephants in warfare. 
  • To penetrate the file of elephants was a great challenge for them.
  • The Greek historians have unanimously praised the skill of Porus in warfare and also his courage.
