Well said Abhi...Puru was brave but he was a greedy and selfish king😡...and all the texts i've read so far prove that...it's a fact no one can change it...somewhere i read that he even played game against cgm and Chanakya...but he became a fool in front of our mastermind Acharya Chankya's shrewdness😉😆 in my childhood i used to think that he was a hero coz of Alexander's story but later i came 2 know how selfish he was...i think he had no choice rather than fighting against Alexander coz if he would have joined hands wid Alexander...toh Alex uska haal karta we can imagine😆 that's just personnel thinking (no offence to anyone)😊

@ Bhargavi: @ Abhi:
u r ryt guys, a person having 1 virtue may not b necesarily free 4m othr vices, aur satta ki lalach bahut badi cheez hoti hai.. isi lalach ke chalte puru ne ek taraf dusre rajya harap liye to dusri taraf alexander ke khilaf chattan ban kar khade ho gaye.. i too thot him to b a hero coz of d story i read in my school texts but now as i find othr aspects of his character cumng up, i dont lyk him dat much now.

i think the story is flase...becuase puru was a brave king so brave he refused to bow before alexander the only king who refused . if he was selfish he wouldn't have done what he did...he would have joined forces with alexander

No the story is absolutely true because the serial Chanakya which was aired on DD also showed this...Puru was brave...but bravery doesn't mean that that he wasn't selfish...

And if the story was false...the writer would have got a mouthful from historians ...for writing and getting published wrong information...and the publisher would not have published it at the first time...And I think the writer being a eminent writer on History...is mature enough to verify and write and get published correct information :))

I have read many books and also information posted on websites...it is quoted everywhere that Puru was a cunning person...he captured small kingdoms by using force or trickery...He did not bow before Alexander...because he had self-respect...And as you are telling that if he were not selfish he would have joined the forces of Alexander...that is not so...Puru was brave and valued self'respect...but he could have never given up his kingdom readily without a war...

Bravery does not mean that the person cannot be greedy or selfish...power can make a person do anything...Puru did not like to be under the subjugation of someone...that;s why he responded to Alexander's invasion...

And about Puru being the only king who did not bow down...there were lots of kings who did not bow down to Alexander...like King Hasti...who was the king of West Gandhara...and who bravely refused to accept Alexander's rule...and died bravely on the battlefield...:))

Ambik is very hasty and doesn't think three steps ahead. Plus he seemed very emotional, which isn't a good trait to have as a ruler.

Thanks for the update and PM, very much appreciated 😃

Speaking about power, I remember my lecturer in Uni said 'in order to judge a person's truest character, give them power and you will see all their glory and flaws' 😊I think it's so true, Alexander wanted to prove he was all that like most kings and Puru shouldn't be any different. ( just my opinion)😃
