Alexander as we all know,
came to Indus, 23 Centuries ago,
came from the land of Greece,
to wage war in place of making peace,
crushed the mighty persia,
married the Roxane of Bactria,
Before his soldiers were the final frontier,
India was the name,Porus was the border,
fierce battle fought in the midst of jungle,
as Greeks said, indians surrendered in jungle,
Before the Zeus's son, he did as a victor should do,
in return of that he got everything to do,
The taste of india soldiers soured the plan,
of going forward in the Ganges plains,
the munithy of his country men,
lead to initiate the journey to babylon,
where he lived an ordinary death,
No one ever had enetered in the Motherland,
without beaten and sent to his fatherland,
That was the glory of Indian land,
as greeks called us Amitrochates, o men.

BUT:
There is other side of the story too.
I read a book written by an Indian authors who gives very convincing logic(s) & concludes it was Alexander who was defeated and asked Porus to treat him as a warrior would treat other. Just the reverse of what we read in our history boooks mostly written or influenced by European writers.
