Impressed by Porus's valor, the two kings become friends. Sikander lets Porus go and withdraws from the Jhelum.


Sikandar-e-Azam (Alexendar the great) who conquered the entire world, was born to King Philip of Mecedonia nearly twenty two hundred years ago. His mother, the queen, dremt before his birth that he will conquer the whole world. But to her utter consternation, Alexendar fell in love with a slave girl callled Sythia. His mother realised that if the young prnce was allowed to do so, the dream of the world conquest, would never come ture. She cornered Sythia and got a solemn undertaking that she will not see her son till he conquered the world. . King Philip was assisinated by a rebel courtier and Alexendar killed him in revange and became the King. He collected an army of devout and brave soldiers and set out to conquer the world. His first rewarding conquest was Persia which itself was a huge empire. . Sythia was alwasys wiht Alexendar in the guise of a Greek Solider. She moved along wiht the army to India. The Greek Army which was almost invincible, couldnt go much gurther in India. Porus, the king of Jhelum valley, invited all the Hindu Kings to join him in drving the invader away. Although Porus couldnt get any big help from other kings in the begining, he sent his army to check Alexendar. The first detachment was led by his older son Kirat on the night of his wedding. He set out to challenge the huge army of Alexendar and destroyed the bridge on the Jhelum which was made by the army of the invader. The main line of the Greek army was cut. Here in this combat Kirat met Sythia, who posed as a stranded Greek girl. Kirat called her sister after the Indian tradition and also brought her home. Porus also treated her like his own daughter and let her live in the palace. . Other Kings realised the danger of invasion rather late but they just the same joined a common front against Alexendar except Ambhi Raj the ruler of Texila who turned traitor by Becoming an ally of the invader. There were many skirmishes between the two armies and in one Porus lost his younger son. Even this incident did not dis-hearten Porus and he prepared to meet Alexendar in an all out war. Alexendar was impressed by the feat of the Indian army. He disguised himslef as a greek courier and went to see Porus at his court. Porus recognised him but didnt capture him since be was unarmed. He decided to meet him on the battle field. . During the first encounter, the odds were against Alexendar. It was a stormy night and the greek army couldnt cross the bridge at the Jhelum river. The attack of Porus would have been decisive but Sythia begged Porus not to kill Alexendar since she loved him. Porus didnt oblige her by giving his word. He again attacked the Greek army and when he was about to kill Alexendar, Sythia came in between. Pours checked himself so that Sythia didnt get killed. This was enough oppurtunity for Alexendar to take Porus a prisoner. . When finally the Greek martial court met, Porus was brought in chains before Alexendar. Alexendar. Alexendar asked him as to how he should be treated. To which Porus replied "Being a king he should be treated like a king". This answer pleased Alexendar and he not only honourably set him free but also returned his kingdom to him. He became a friend but also returned his kingdom to him. He became a friend of Porus and as a friend didnt further attacke any other kingdom. He returned to greece in a greater glory. Check out this page for more updates on Sikandar-E-Azam.
