Alexander soldiers killed 1200 as per Greek sources, 800 by Persian sources, 1000 by present historians... bacephalus is injured but is alive..no commander dies...Alexander suffers minor injury...

His wife (so called sister of Porus) and he celebrated all night by drinking and singing... Alexander recited illiad (song of Achilles) loudly to his soldiers and this Roxana the Rakhi sister disses Indians by calling them barbarians whose body sweated and who dont have clothes...he celebrated for 7 days...Macedonian flags flying in paurava. He wears elephant helmet on his head ...🥱 he marches toward Beas...

Porus soldiers killed 25000 by Persian accounts, 12000 by Greeks accounts, 18000 by modern historians...Death of two sons...ten commanders death...all elephants dead...more than thousand horses died...about 20000 men are captured alive...

This all is from historical records (easily available online if wants to check I am sure)..this battle is considered most brutal battle of Alexander life by most... how?

That's why I never accepted that she would have tied Rakhi to porus ...hate her whitewashing here also...When she said Pranam that day so innocently I immediately remembered how she behaved after the battle was over...😆

I am sorry Roxana fans beforehand but it is truth read arrian Plutarch correneus etc etc etc read Suetonius Roman historian ...read Ptomely records...all will tell you she wasn't goody goody.. she had that uncanny ruthlessness of olympia...not at the same level of olympia but there was in her...Barsine was true goody goody and poor lamb...but because she was really good at heart no poet or writer wrote about her...😕

Read books novels about Roxana there are in thousands..and see her behaviour after the loss of her brother...read ValerioMassimo Manfredi's works ...

I had read about roxxana , dont deny her bad doing but as much is not said about stateira it does not make her gud. I read stateira having hand in alex's death 2 avenge Darius defeat, thou it can be a rumour, i agree roxxane being bad but i dont believe barsine was extremely gud.

about many kings & queen there no mention in history , was all of them were 2 gud.

In that case d most innocent , lamp , goody person will be alex 3 rd queen. Uske baare mai kuch khas mention nhi hao

I quite happu roxxane waa not mahan

No it doesn't make Roxana bad please... She celebrated her husband's victory I have no problems... She hated his enemies that's quite all right...I am only saying is that Sony Roxana is taking too much interest in India (may be to taunt Alexander ) and soon we may see that dreaded Rakhi scene... An excuse to make deteat.look good...

I personally believe we always get back d same thing which we do 2 others, roxxane killed stateira, drypteis, parsatis 4 power , same happened 2 her , cassander killed her & alexander 4 for power. So roxxane did got d fruit of her wrong doing.

I also same , in reality poras faught 4 his kingdom not bharat, thou some says poras selfish 4 helping alex , but i dont consider poras selfish. If i m right it was chandragupta maurya who faught 4 bharat against selecus nicator.

😆actually Chandragupta too fought under the flag of Alexander for some months...he was recruited in his army...they say by Chankya...though nothing is known of this theory because very less is written about Chankya and chadra role during Alexander time...
