Why Alexander Invaded India?

[@AbhinandanABS]

Hello, jay ! Can you make videos on the Kannauj Triangle period ?

[@Archaeologist001]

Its called tri-partite struggle

[@eliotanderson6554]

Can u make video on decline of buddhism and other religions in indian subcontinent in various parts like bengal punjab taxila etc...

[@agniswar3]

It is religion.

[@vedicarya7]

Because of its shite philosophy

[@singhizhem]

I actually know this. Buddhists monks invited Muslims invaders to battle against Hindus and the Muslims invaders battled everyone Dharmic instead. Buddhism had a major influence in the modern day Indo and Pak Punjabs all the way deeply into modernAfghanistan. All of this was overran by Muslims. I forget the exact date but it’s was a surprise when I read about it. I’m sure the Buddhist monks at the time didn’t realize who/what they were inviting at the time.

[@codenamevisage]

​@@singhizhemIf you actually knew then you should realise that "Hindus" ruling back then were central asian converts who persecuted Buddhists. That's why Buddhists thought invaders as liberators and even sang glories.

[@girishh2491]

This is a narrative setting question. He could not invade the whole of india and on receiving defeat in the hands of pourus; he had to abandon and return back.

[@codenamevisage]

All evidence we have shoes porus lost. Infact, while going back, Alexander actually conquered couple of cities. That is not how a defeated force behaves.

[@agniswar3]

The answer is simple : He wanted to conquer the whole world which obviously include India.

[@okenogamer]

Well he wanted but his men after fighting 10 years didn't

[@parjanyashukla176]

It is not a realistic ambition for that era. Most of the world was unknown at that time.

[@agniswar3]

@@parjanyashukla176 when I said the whole world, I meant the world known by at that time. This world included Europe, Asia and Northern Africa.

[@okenogamer]

@@agniswar3 even for that time to think about conquering the know World and act on it was pretty unprecedented

[@agniswar3]

@@okenogamer Alexander was always driven by his deep desires to become the greatest hero ever walked on earth. He wanted to surpass all the heroes of the past which he believed will come true if he become the sole ruler of the known world. I know this kind of task is extremely difficult to the point that it seems impossible. But as in the video Jay himself said that Alexander wanted to unite the Macedonians with the rest of Asia as well as with the known world.

[@johnbooth1110]

think about how he saw thinks, Herakles and Dionysus invaded India conquering it, as his mother was an initiate of Dionysus , alexander expierenced kundalini, the sacred disease .

[@andreuortega425]

Buddha Prakash (if I remeber well the author) also mentioned that Porus sent help to Darius lll and this also made Alexander desire to conquer that area. Am I right?

[@JayVardhanSingh]

There's no such detail that is mentioned in any source, be it Western or Indian.

[@rubin6202]

Are there any Iranian record of the conquest of iran by Alexander ?

[@codenamevisage]

While there are no contemporary texts, we have the "Arda Viraf Namag," a Zoroastrian religious text, refers to Alexander as "the accursed" for his destruction of Zoroastrian temples and scriptures. Later Sassanian-era records and chronicles also mention Alexander's invasion.

[@gravewalker34]

I was reading something on twitter some texts mention Iranian names of the people who worked for mauryas.

[@ramireddy76]

how could u become a historian!!! he just touched borders of India. U call this invasion ??? he attacked Indian land and was driven out by a small king who has no mention in Indian history.

[@codenamevisage]

This is your problem. You are imposing modern borders back in ancient times. The geographical area beyond Persia was called India by Greeks, apart from the land beyond Indus.Also, where did you read that Alexander lost to small king ?

[@singhizhem]

There is no “Indian” sources but are there local sources during that time from the Hindu Kush/modern Afghanistan of Alexander the Great?

[@sahityak33]

Make video about Chalukya rastrakutas.

If Alexander has won even with great losses why he left to his home again i cannot undestand this he has support of ambi ruler i cannot undestand it .at Alexander time is they were elephants tame to use in battle other in india.

[@parjanyashukla176]

"India" as a geography-oriented ethnicity existed only in the Greek imagination at that time, even the Persians did not think of the people living in the Indus Valley as being very distinct from those living on Iran proper. Also, where is Sogdiana?
