Greek historians refer to the river “Errannaboas”. In all probability, Errannaboas derived from Yamuna-Sarasvati. Historians speculated Errannaboas as Hiranyabahu but no such name of a River ever mentioned in Indian literature. Shone river was never referred to as Hiranyabahu. Megasthanes refers to Sone river in another context because Sone river flowed through the kingdom of Shonabhadra. Therefore, it is totally absurd to identify Sone River as Errannaboas. Undoubtedly, Errannaboas was Yamuna-Sarasvati and the confluence of Rivers mentioned by Greek historians was the confluence of Ganga and Yamuna at Prayag. In ancient times, Pratishthanapura was located close to Prayag which was the capital of Chandravamsi kings. Historians have identified Jhusi to be Pratishthanapura. The Chinese translation of “Life of Vasubandhu” has assumed A-yu-ja to be Ayodhya. If we add “P”, it can be Pa-yu-ja or Prayaga. Thus, Pratishthanapura or Prayagabhadra or Ayodhya can be identified as Polibothra. Possibly, Shonebhadra was called Honebhadra in Gandhara and Persia. Gradually, the transliteration in Greek script might have evolved Honebhadra into Polibothra. Evidently, King Chandra, Chandragupta Vikramaditya and Chandraprakasha Baladitya must be identified as Xandremes, Sandrokottus and Allitrochades respectively. They probably belonged to the Chandra vamsa or Lunar dynasty. Vasubandhu was the minister of King Chandraprakasha Baladitya. Polibothra was Prayagabhadra or Pratishthanapura or Ayodhya or Shonabhadra. Gandaridae was Gandhara not Gangaridae Western historians have translated Gandaridae as Gangaridae and speculated the region of Ganga River to be as Gangaridae. Greek historians mention that Sandokottus was the king of Gandaridae and Prasii. Prasii (Prachi) was the name of eastern India. King Chandra or Xandrames crossed Sindhu (Indus) and conquered the parts of Gandhara and Bahlika kingdom as recorded in the Iron Pillar inscription. Therefore, Gandaridae must be Gandhara Kingdom and not the region of Ganga River. It may be noted that a king who controlled the Gandhara Kingdom can only be in conflict with Seleucus Nicator, the King of Syria and Parthia. There is no evidence that Alexander or Seleucus ever crossed over Sindhu (Indus). Porus, the later descendant of Paurava Chandra Vamsi king was ruling over northern Pakistan, Bactria, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan etc. He was controlling the traditional silk route. In all probability, Porus fought a battle against Alexander on the bank of Hydaspes (Jhelum) and defeated him. There is a serious need to study once again the original Greek texts to understand the episode of Porus-Alexander conflict. Moreover, Megasthanes mentions that Porus was greater than Sandrokottus. The Marriage alliance Strabo says that the Indians possess partly some of the countries lying along Indus, but these belonged formerly to the Persians. Alexander took them away from the Arianoi and established in them colonies of his own. Seleucus Nikator gave them to Sandrokottus in concluding a marriage alliance, and received in exchange 500 elephants. In all probability, Arianoi is the region of Khurasan closer to Kandhar. It appears that Seleucus was desperate to get elephants because he realized the importance of elephantry in battle field. Most probably, Seleucus negotiated with Sandrokottus for 500 elephants. He has sent Megasthanes to negotiate the deal. The Sakas or Skythians of Northern side of India Megasthanes says that the Sakas or Skythians were living in the northern side of India; “India, which is in shape quadrilateral, has its eastern as well as its western side bounded by the great sea but on the northern side it is divided by Mount Hemodos from that part of Skythia which is inhabited by those Skythians who are called the Sakai.Evidnetly, Megasthanes indicates the kingdom of Kushanas in the northwestern India. Sakas and Kushanas had common origin and they belonged to ancient Kamboja clan. The Andhrae According to Pliny, Megasthanes described 30 walled cities of the Andrae. Evidently, Andrae were the Andhra Kings or Shatavahana Kings. It may be noted that Simuka was not the first king of Shatavahanas. Simuka was the first Shatavahana king who conquered Magadha around 830 BCE and founded his dynasty. There was Shatavahana kings existed in the South before Simuka. Five of these walled cities of the Andhras (Satavahanas) have been excavated in Dhulikatta, Karimnagar District. All Puranas refer to Shatavahana kings as Andhra kings. Shatavahanas did not exist during the period of Mauryas. Asoka refers to Chola, Chera, Pandya etc. kings of South in his inscriptions. There is no mention of Andhra kings. Shatavahanas lost their kingdom in the south before the rise of the Gupta dynasty. Thus, Chandragupta Maurya or Chandragupta I cannot be identified as Sandrokottus.

The Truth about Alexander's defeat Alexander the Great attacked the bordering states of India in 326 BC. He had a decisive battle with the Indian king Purushottam (called Porus in Greek Texts, also called Puru) by the banks of the river Jhelum (Hydaspes as mentioned by Greek Historians). Greek historians narrate that Alexander had a decisive victory over Puru; and thereafter returned from India after his army displayed signs of home-sickness and fatigue. The Greek view of Alexander’s victory at Jhelum was generally accepted by British historians and thereafter by Indian historians who generally toe the British line. However, counter-narratives have not been given due credit, for example: Greek historian and geographer Strabo, questioned the trustworthiness of several Greek accounts on which much of this version of history is based. He complains in the Geographika that all who wrote about Alexander preferred the marvellous to the true. He writes: “Generally speaking, the men who hitherto have written on the affairs of India were a set of liars…Of this we became the more convinced whilst writing the history of Alexander.”Egyptologist and philologist E. A. W. Budge, in his epic volume, The Life and Exploits of Alexander, has given a vivid account of the Macedonian’s misadventure in India. According to Budge, “In the Battle of Hydaspes the Indians destroyed majority of Alexander’s cavalry. Realising that if he were to continue fighting he would be completely ruined, the Macedonian king requested Porus to stop fighting. True to their traditions, the magnanimous Indian king spared the life of the surrendered enemy. A peace treaty was signed, and Alexander helped Porus in annexing other territories to his kingdom.”In 1957, while addressing the cadets of the Indian Military Academy, Dehra Dun, Marshal Gregory Zhukov of USSR stated that “Alexander’s actions after the Battle of Hydaspes suggest he had suffered an outright defeat. In Zhukov’s view, Alexander had suffered a greater setback in India than Napoleon in Russia”. Napoleon had invaded Russia with 600,000 troops; of these only 30,000 survived, and of that number fewer than 1,000 were ever able to return to duty. As per Marshal Zhukov, one of the finest generals of Russia ever, Alexander was decisively defeated by Puru and went back because he did not have the heart to fight the Indians. This theory in fact punctures the story of invincibility of Alexander. As per Zhukov, Alexander’s troubles began as soon as he crossed the Indian border. He first faced resistance in the Kunar, Swat, Buner and Peshawar valleys where the Aspasioi and Assakenoi, known in Hindu texts as Ashvayana and Ashvakayana, stopped his advance. Although small by Indian standards they did not submit before Alexander’s killing machine. Theafter, in May 326 BCE at the Battle of Hydaspes, he faced king Puru of Paurava, a small but prosperous Indian kingdom on the river Jhelum. By all accounts it was an awe-inspiring spectacle.According to Greek sources, for several days the armies eyeballed each other across the river. The Greek-Macedonian force after having lost several thousand soldiers fighting the Indian mountain cities, were terrified at the prospect of fighting the fierce Paurava army. They had heard about the havoc Indian war elephants created among enemy ranks. The modern equivalent of battle tanks, the elephants also scared the wits out of the horses in the Greek cavalry. Another terrible weapon in the Indians’ armoury was the two-meter bow. As tall as a man it could launch massive arrows able to transfix more than one enemy soldier.The battle was savagely fought. To cut a long story short:It was a nightmarish scenario for the invaders. As the terrified Macedonians pushed back, the Indian infantry charged into the gap.Indian troops not only broke into Alexander’s inner cordon; they killed Nicaea, one of his leading commanders.Puru’s brother Amar killed Alexander’s favourite horse Bucephalus, forcing Alexander to dismount.This was a big deal. In battles outside India the elite Macedonian bodyguards had not allowed a single enemy soldier to deliver so much as a scratch on their king’s body, let alone slay his mount.According to the Roman historian Marcus Justinus, “Porus challenged Alexander, who charged him on horseback. In the ensuing duel, Alexander fell off his horse and was at the mercy of the Indian king’s spear. But Porus dithered for a second and Alexander’s bodyguards rushed in to save their king”.Plutarch, the Greek historian and biographer, says there seems to have been nothing wrong with Indian morale. Despite initial setbacks, when their vaunted chariots got stuck in the mud, Puru’s army “rallied and kept resisting the Macedonians with unsurpassable bravery”. Says Plutarch:“The combat with Porus took the edge off the Macedonians’ courage, and stayed their further progress into India. For having found it hard enough to defeat an enemy who brought but 20,000 foot and 2000 horse into the field, they thought they had reason to oppose Alexander’s design of leading them on to pass the Ganges, on the further side of which was covered with multitudes of enemies.”The Greek historian says after the battle with the Pauravas, the badly bruised and rattled Macedonians panicked when they received information further from Punjab lay places“where the inhabitants were skilled in agriculture, where there were elephants in yet greater abundance and men were superior in stature and courage”. Although the historians claim Macedonian victory, the fanatical resistance put up by the Indian soldiers and ordinary people everywhere had shaken the nerves of Alexander’s army to the core. They refused to move further east. Nothing Alexander could say or do would spur his men to continue eastward. The army was close to mutiny.Indeed, on the other side of the Ganges was the mighty kingdom of Magadh, ruled by the wily Nandas, who commanded one of the most powerful and largest standing armies in the world. According to Plutarch, the courage of the Macedonians evaporated when they came to know the Nandas “were awaiting them with 200,000 infantry, 80,000 cavalry, 8000 war chariots and 6000 fighting elephants”.Undoubtedly, Alexander’s army would have walked into a slaughterhouse.Hundreds of kilometres from the Indian heartland, Alexander ordered a retreat to great jubilation among his soldiers. The celebrations were premature. On its way south towards the sea, Alexander’s army was constantly harried by Indian partisans, republics and kingdoms.In a campaign at Sangala in Punjab, the Indian attack was so ferocious it completely destroyed the Greek cavalry, forcing Alexander to attack on foot. In the next battle, against the Malavs of Multan, he was felled by an Indian warrior whose arrow pierced the Macedonian’s breastplate and ribs.Says Military History magazine:“Although there was more fighting, Alexander’s wound put an end to any more personal exploits. Lung tissue never fully recovers, and the thick scarring in its place made every breath cut like a knife.”Alexander never recovered of wounds taken in India and died in Babylon (modern Iraq) at the age of 33. The Hole in the Greek Story: Why did Alexander and Puru agree to share spoils? Alexander had bought over Ambhi the king of Taxila to his side and in the war against Puru, Ambhi’s forces supported Alexander. Ambhi had offered to help Alexander on condition he would be given Puru’s kingdom. After the war however, Alexander allowed Puru to not only keep his own kingdom but also to usurp Ambhi’s. Does it sound counter-intuitive? Handing over an ally’s kingdom to a defeated enemy’s!! How stupid was Alexander? Fresh recruits from Macedonia were routine matter for his army and there was a system for replacement of weary troops. So, what really happened that forced him back from the borders of Indian sub-continent. There is more possibility of the history, forced on us by the rulers, to be incorrect as they wanted to glorify themselves and Westerners and laid down us as they considered us slaves, uncivilised, without knowledge, disgusting and powerless.

About the detailed source about Chandragupt having been written in 10th century AD, it is just that this one was found. Normally, the medium on which a text was written will deteriorate with time and so copies are made from the earlier one. It doesn't mean that the original text was composed in tenth century AD!! If it is detailed, the original composition must have been prepared during the time of Chandragupt or it used multiple preexisting sources originally composed during the time of Chandragupt!!

This sound ridiculous. All we have is some greek sources making hype of alexander. Even the Russian general have doubted the claim. There is an interesting book Elephant Medallion which raises some interesting question.

In trying to figure out who this Indian king Sandrocottos (Alexander's contemporary) could be, William Jones referred to our Puranas and the kings' lineages mentioned therein. Now Puranic lineages stop at Andhra Saatvahan dynasty and up to this point there was only one Chandragupt (Maurya). However, there have been 2 more kings with the same name as Chandragupt AFTER the Andhra Saatvahan dynasty -- Chandragupt-I of the Gupt dynasty and his grandson Chandragupt-II. Since these 2 Chandraguptas were not mentioned in the Puranas, William Jones was not aware of them, hence assumed Chandragupt Maurya as the Sandrocottos mentioned in Greek sources. There was no other basis behind setting this arbitrary sheet anchor for ancient Indian history.

First point; As to why Alexander was ignorant of Nand Empire? When in the East a great empire was existing, it cannot be unknown to the western Indian people. Second point: Alexander's army had not travelled short distance from the Greece to India. His army had travelled thousands of miles. His army had passed through the countries having extreme weathers. It was as if trained for different weather. Many other emperors had even greater empire than Alexander. e.g. Chengiz Khan. No great emperor had stopped their march for "Army Tired" - reason. Third point: Has Alexander made such a treaty with a defeated king other than Poras? Why Alexander should make a treaty with Poras? Forth Point: Was it the first time in Indian History that elephants were used in a battle, and the first time the battle took place in monsoon. The soil of the battle field became slippery only for Elephants and for comparatively light weighted horses it was not slippery. Actually light weighted the soil has to be slippery that gigantic weighted Elephants. Elephants were being used by the kings from the time immemorial. Such slippery cause has not be recorded in before and past of a battle between Alexander and Poras. Fift point: It is very common that Alexander and his army was afraid and scared of Nand's large army containing thousands of Elephant, when Poras a comparatively a very small king gave them a tough fight.

There is no proof Bindusara had that much children or sons. If he had their names should have been mentioned. This 99 brothers killing and all is from Mahavamsa which is Sri Lankan text. Ashoka did kill some brothers but not all. He killed his older brother and heir apparent Sushima in civil war for throne that is fact. But he didn't kill all his brothers. Ashoka's many own rock inscriptions mentioned him appointing his some brothers on important posts and missions. So it's crystal clear this 99 brothers killing is nonsense without any proof. There is no proof of him having that much brothers and killing them. Plus Ashoka converted to Buddhism at least 4 years before Kalinga war not after . As per Puranic evidences, Bindusara ruled for 2.5 Decades ( nearly 25 years). His death took place in about 273 B.C. immediately led war over succession. As mentioned in Divyavadana, Bindusara wanted his son Susima to succeed him however, Ashoka was the unanimous choice among his father's ministers, who found their Emperor's choice to be arrogant and disrespectful towards them. Ashokavadana recounts Radhagupta's offering of an old royal elephant to Ashoka for him to ride to the Garden of the Gold Pavilion where King Bindusara would determine his successor. Royal Minister Radhagupta seems to play a vital role in pages of history and reason behind Ashoka's rise to the throne. He was later appointed as prime minister, once Ashoka seated on throne. According to Mahavansa and Dipavansa, Ashoka killed 99 of his brothers, sparing only one, named Vitashoka or Tissa or Tishya. Please note that there is no clear proof about this incident (as mentioned in Wikipedia to it is more or less saturated with mythological elements). One more argument, which I cam across was that when prince Asoka was working as the viceroy at Ujjayini, prince Susima, the eldest son of Bindusara, was serving as his father’s viceroy at Taxila. A revolt of the people of Taxila broke out at that time for the misdeeds of the wicked officers which Susima failed to suppress. Thereupon, the Emperor sent Asoka to Taxila to suppress it which he did. Asoka thus served as the viceroy of Taxila after serving as the viceroy in Ujjayini. There is also reference to a second rebellion in Taxila which Asoka faced and suppressed. The Ceylonese (Sinhalese) Chronicles describe of a fratricidal war which followed the death of Bindusara. The chief rivals to the throne were the eldest son of the late Emperor Susima or Sumana and Asoka. The Chronicles narrate that it was fierce struggle in which Asoka won at last by killing his ninety-nine (99) brothers. He spared the life of only one brother, Tishya, who was the youngest. Such descriptions of Ashoka’s cruelty were perhaps motivated exaggerations on part of the Buddhist writers who wanted to show Asoka as a Chandasoka before he became a Buddhist and turned into a Dharmasoka. According to Taranatha, the Tibetan writer, Asoka killed six (6) brothers to capture the throne. It is most probable that there was a war of succession for which Asoka’s coronation was delayed for four years. Between his accession to the throne in 273 B.C. and his coronation for appointment as king in 269 B.C. four years after his succession to the throne. As per a site known as History Discussion, Historians believe that there was a war of succession which ended in the victory of Asoka. However, Buddhist legends about his cruelty and about his killing of as many as 99 brothers do not seem to possess historical substance.

43:00 -- If the Greeks sources are not telling us who emerged victorious after the fight between Chandragupt and Seleucus, and all they mention is an "agreement" reached between them after the fight, it is clear that Seleucus did NOT win this battle, and that Chandragupt had an upper hand (if not routed the Greeks). If the same Greek sources can declare Alexander the clear winner of his battle with Porus, a battle which was at best an indecisive draw for the Greeks, they would definitely be averse to admitting a defeat dealt to them a few years later by Chandragupt.

Yes, and also the fact that indian texts doesn't mention alexander at all also seem to show that alexander was only a trivial issue for them, which can not be said about someone who defeated their strong kingdoms and razed an entire city to the ground. He could be a trivial issue only when he was defeated and his threat repelled before causing any large political upheavel. It is very possible that alexander might had been defeated by some Indian king (not necessarily porus), and allowed to return back safely to his kingdom, as has been the tradition with Indian kings even later on. This might had caused such a setback to alexander that he became ill and soon died later. Of course, greek texts would only write what alexander and his men would had told them back home. problem is that today's historians are completely dependent on greek texts for this history. True history can only come out when some other corroborative non-greek texts are found and get translated.

इतना तो बेवकूफ कोई नही होगा जो सिर्फ ग्रीक की हिस्ट्री पड़ कर मानले की Alaxendar पोरस से जीत गया था. जब ऐसा ही हुआ जैसे कोई मंदिर को मस्जिद बोल देगा और हम मानलेंगे जब तक भारत की तरफ से इतिहास में ना मिल जाए की पोरस हरा था हम कैसे मान ले

Alexander did not defeat Porus. Ambhi aided Alexander and they lost. That is why Porus acquired Ambhis region. It is not beleivable that Alexander wins and gives Ambhis territory to Porus. Historians should not take foreign accounts at face value but analyse them. It is not that Indians did not have records. They did but as you know millions of books in Takshila and Nalanda and other Universities were burned.

There used to be nothing like surnames in India before Britishers. There were name of kul, profession, location they belongs to Our ancestors used those names either before individual name or after. When Britishers starts registering people and conducting census here in India. Surname were made compulsory, so people had to find some names accordingly

कुछ इतिहासकार कहते हैं कि सिकंदर भारत तक पहुंचा ही नहीं था तो पोरस ने हराने का कोई सवाल ही पैदा नहीं होता। जब वह आया ही नहीं था तो पोरस ने शादी में सिकंदर को बेटी देने का भी सवाल नहीं पैदा होता।

Theory : No references from Indian side for Alexander . Possibility that Indian reference of that period might be preserved in Ancient University Libraries ( Taxila, Nalanda, Vikramshila ) ,but might might have destroyed during Turkik invasion , who converted this Universities in Ruins

Sir but there should have been some inscriptions as Indian kings during that period use to record their achievements in inscriptions. Also this must be a very big victory event for the whole subcontinent if Porus had won the battle and future rulers must have been inspired by their great ancestor but no Mauryas (which came just few years later) or later rulers mentioned about this. All the writings which are against Alexander are also from the same Western sources which declare him the victor. So this issue still remains with mystery and doubt regarding the victor.
