15. Alexander and Porus
India of the ancient times was made up of several small countries. Each country had a
king. India being very rich in agriculture as well as minerals several people tried to
conquer India. Alexander the great was one of them. He was the king of Macedonia in
Greece. On his way to India he defeated all the kingdoms in the present Arabia. He
entered India along with his troops riding on horses. One of the first kingdoms on his
was Punarnava. Porus was the great king of Punarnava. The army of Porus consisted of
elephants. To reach Punarnava Alexander had to cross the river Chenab. Understanding
the great strength of Alexander, Porus went and met all the kings of neighbouring
countries. One of them was the powerful king Ambi. Ambi not only refused to help
Alexander but sought the help of Alexander to conquer the kingdom of Porus.
1
Since he was not able to get any help, Porus marched along with his powerful elephant
battalion to the shores of Cheenab. Alexander was dependent on his horse battalion. On
that night without causing any doubt to the army of Porus, Alexander marched down
stream by the shores of Cheenab and managed to cross to the other shore and at the
least expected time attacked the army of Porus. Alexander used spears javelins and
arrows straight on the elephants. This made them confused and they threw out their
drivers and started attacking the army of Porus itself. Thus Porus was defeated. He was
captured and chained and brought before Alexander
Alexander asked him, “Porus, how do you want me to treat you?”
Porus replied, “Like a king.”
Alexander was greatly impressed by the valour of Porus and not only released him but
gave him back his kingdom.
