Alexander did not win any war on the Indian soil, he in fact lost to Porus, the king of Punjab, and had to sign a treaty with Porus in order to save his diminishing band of soldiers who were grief-stricken at the loss of their compatriots at the hands of Porus`sarmy, and expressed their strong desire to surrender.Alexander after winning many battles and defeating the Persian king, invaded India andcrossed Indus. Here he was joined by Ambhi, the king of Taxila. Ambhi surrendered himself to Alexander. He was enemy of Porus and wished to defeat Porus with the helpof Alexander. The facts of Alexander`s miserable defeat and his shattered dream at Indian soil havebeen avoided consistently by Greek historians and the same was perpetuated during British regime. But the truth which is documented in many narratives of the Europeans themselves presents a totally different picture. The depictions by Curtius, Justin,Diodorus, Arrian and Plutarch are quite consistent and reliable in concluding that Alexander was defeated by Porus and had to make a treaty with him to save his and his soldiers` lives. He was a broken man at his return from his mis-adventures in India.

You mean when he smashed a Indian army and conquered Indian territory he was BTFO? Very odd as Greeks held Indian lands for many years afterwards.

I never knew he was a cowboy

Indian helmet found in Greece 350-325 BC

"The presence of a large body of Indian troops in the Persian army in Greece in 480 B.C. shows how far west the Indian connections were carried; and the discovery of modeled heads of Indians at Memphis, of about the fifth century B.C. shows that Indians were living there for trade. Hence there is no difficulty in regarding India as the source of the entirely new ideal of asceticism in the West."

Why are you ashamed of your flag, Pajeet? Is it because you live in the West, therefore implying that you think your ancestral land is a disgusting shithole? That's it, isn't it?

Such a pity he forgot to bring one of these

what was the tactic of defeating those, did you have to scare the elephant or kill the driver?

Name one universally known and admired poo king

You properly know more about black history month.

no but was there any notable figure

Your irrelevance is

Then how do you explain the named cities after Alexander and his horse, the coins 'victory' found on Porus' territory? Not to mention that Porus was later killed by one of Alexander's generals left behind to administrate the territory?

Obviously. Is supposed to be a joke? India is less important than even lowly niggers. Thats the point of the post.

who knows

All lies you see. The vedas tell of spaceships and glory. I shit you not one of his links cites the vedas as proof.

ah i see
not that i know of, one of them probably bit more reindeer balls off than the rest and thus became a kang

What's a veda?

...

Both Greeks and Romans habitually tried to understand the religions of India by trying to fit them as far as possible into Greco-Roman categories. Deities in particular were spoken of, not in Indian but in Greek terms and called by Greek names. Thus Shiva was identified as 'Dionysos', and Hare Krishna as ' Hercules'

In a passage of the Rig Veda, Vac is praised as a divine being. Vac is omnipotent, moves amongst divine beings, and carries the great gods, Mitra, Varuna, Indra and Agni, within itself. The doctrine of Vac teaches that "all gods live from Vac, also all demi-gods, animals and people. Vac is the eternal being, it is the first-born of the eternal law, mother of the Vedas and navel of immortality." Vedic Aryans attached such great importance to the spoken word that one who could not correctly pronounce Sanskrit was called barbar (meaning stammering)

The Greek barbaroi had the same meaning. The brisk intercourse between India and Greece is attested by the fact that a special rule was inserted in the great grammar of Panini to distinguish three feminine forms of yavana: a Greek woman was yavani, the curtain was yavanika, and the Greek script was yavanani. There is also a striking similarity between the social life described in the Homeric poems- the Illiad and Odyssey- and that found in the Vedas. Homeric gods, like the heroes who believed in them, often rode in the horse driven chariots. Horse-chariotry was a feature of the life of the Indo-European people. The Homeric idea of a language of the gods is also found in Sanskrit, Greek, Old Norse and Hittite literatures. Some scholars, like Fiske have even asserted that elements of the Trojan war story are to be found in the war between the bright deities, and the night demons as described in the Rig Veda. It is clear from Homer that even they used articles of Indian merchandise which were known by names of Indian origin, such as Kassiteros (Sanskrit, Kastira), elephas (Sanskrit, ibha), and ivory

No deity like Vac exists in Greek mythology

No word as yavanani existed in ancient Greek language, some simmilarities in epics doesn't mean that they had any relationship and also Indian merchandise reached here mostly through Persian trade and the words for them came too through Persians

>Why is your country so small?
We are not completely in the dark on the question of Indian influence on Greece. Speaking of ascetic practices in the West, Professor Sir Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) British archaeologist and Egyptologist, author of Egypt and Israel (1911) observes:

"The presence of a large body of Indian troops in the Persian army in Greece in 480 B.C. shows how far west the Indian connections were carried; and the discovery of modeled heads of Indians at Memphis, of about the fifth century B.C. shows that Indians were living there for trade. Hence there is no difficulty in regarding India as the source of the entirely new ideal of asceticism in the West."

Arnold Hermann Ludwig Heeren (1760-1842) an Egyptologist has observed: "It is perfectly agreeable to Hindu manners that colonies from India, i.e., Banian families should have passed over Africa, and carried with them their industry, and perhaps also their religious worship." "Whatever weight may be attached to Indian tradition and the express testimony of Eusebius confirming the report of migrations from the banks of the Indus into Egypt, there is certainly nothing improbable in the event itself, as a desire of gain would have formed a sufficient inducement."

Edward Pococke (1604–1691) English Orientalist says: "At the mouths of the Indus dwell a seafaring people, active, ingenious, and enterprising as when, ages subsequent to this great movement.....these people coast along the shores of Mekran, traverse the mouth of the Persian Gulf, and again adhering to the sea-board of Oman, Hadramant, and Yeman (the Eastern Arabia), they sail up the Red Sea; and again ascending mighty stream that fertilizes a land of wonders, found the kingdom of Egypt, Nubia and Abyssinia. These are the same stock that, centuries subsequently to this colonization, spread the blessings of civilization over Hellas and her islands."

>Indian helmet found in Greece
this is a greek helmet that was found in italy. and it's in the style of a phrygian cap. nothing to do with india.

the first buddhist art was made by indo-greeks and parthians
seriously. there's mountains of books written about this. Ashoka even issued an bilingual edict in Greek so the Greek-speaking people of Afghanistan could read it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandahar_Greek_Edict_of_Ashoka

India had an info-European (aryan) ruling caste that looked like the avg /pol user, and nothing like the average brown thing that slowly replaced them genetically over the decades

Greek gods were the same from Mycenaean civilization many centuries before Indians found their way to Greece
That's after Alexander the """""Ordinary"""""" HELLENIZED everyone in this area

Alexander is supposed to have invaded the Punjab in 326 B.C. Every schoolboy is taught and is expected to know, that he invaded India's Northwest. Strangely, this event, so significant to Western historians, seemed to have entirely escaped the attention of Sanskrit authors. Nowhere did Sir William Jones, (1746-1794),who came to India as a judge of the Supreme Court at Calcutta and pioneered Sanskrit studies, find any mention of Greeks or any sign of Greek influence.

(source: India Discovered - By John Keay p. 33).

British historian Vincent A. Smith, conservatively appraised the impact of Alexander's invasion as follows:

"The Greek influence never penetrated deeply (into the Indic civilization)...On the other hand, the West learned something from India in consequence of the communications opened up by Alexander's adventure. Our knowledge of the facts is so scanty and fragmentary that it is difficult to make any positive assertions with confidence, but it is safe to say that the influence of Buddhist ideas on Christian doctrine may be traced in the Gnostic forms of Christianity, if not elsewhere. The notions of Indian philosophy and religion which filtered into the Roman empire flowed through channels opened by Alexander."

To dismiss this entire JIDF screenshot, just google 'r1a haplogroup chart', migration patterns painfully obvious to anyone who isn't an Indian nationalist, or a jew

Gandharan art is some of the most beautiful and culturally syncretic art to have ever been made in the ancient world.

>"The Greek influence never penetrated deeply (into the Indic civilization)
>buddhist iconography is more greek than it is indian thanks to the greeks that were literally ruling northern india
yeah okay, ranjeet.

OP has poo intelligence

scriptures
like the bhagavad gita

it's true though. most of the hellenized area was in afghanistan and the indus valley, not in the indian subcontinent itself.

We conquered the fuck out of you though.

>he never answered why he isn't in pooinlooland
so?

indus valley is not part of indic civilisation?

Porus lost, he did do better than most though with an inferior army. Alexander let him off easy because of it.

Another myth is propagated by the Western historians that Alexander was noble and kind king, he had great respects for brave and courageous men, and so on. The truth is other-wise. He was neither a noble man nor did he have a heart of gold. He had meted out very cruel and harsh treatment to his earlier enemies. Basus of Bactria fought tooth and nail with Alexander to defend the freedom of his motherland. When he was brought before Alexander as a prisoner, Alexander ordered his servants to whip him and then cut off his nose and ears. He then killed him. Many Persian generals were killed by him.

The murder of Kalasthenese, nephew of Aristotle, was committed by Alexander because he criticised Alexander for foolishly imitating the Persian emperors. Alexander also murdered his friend Clytus in anger. His father's trusted lieutenant Parmenian was also murdered by Alexander. The Indian soldiers who were returning from Masanga were most atrociously murdered by Alexander in the dead of night. These exploits do not prove Alexander's kindness and greatness, but only an ordinary emperor driven by the zeal of expanding his empire.

Jawaharlal Nehru in his book Discovery of India says, " From a military point of view his invasion, was a minor affair. It was more of a raid across the border, and not a very successful raid at that." He met with such stout resistance from a border chieftain that the contemplated advance into the heart of India had to be reconsidered. If a small ruler on the frontier could fight thus, what of the larger and more powerful kingdom further south? Probably this was the main reason why his army refused to march further and insisted on returning."

>can't into basic history
You disappoint your ancestors.

According to Paul Masson-Oursel and others, "The importance of this Indian campaign of Alexander has been exaggerated. It had no decisive influence on the destinies of India, for its results were short-lived.

H. G. Rawlinson, refers to the invasion, " had no immediate effect, and passed off like countless other invasions, leaving the country almost undisturbed."

Vincent A. Smith " India remained unchanged. She was never Hellenised. She continued to live her life of splendid isolation, and forgot the passing of the Macedonian storm. No Indian author, Hindu, Buddhist, or Jain, makes even the faintest illusion to Alexander or his deeds."

I like both India and Greece so I don't care

why did you respond to me with three paragraphs that don't address anything in my post?

they left more a mark on india than india left on greece.

We paid you to get rid of the mughals and then you invited them to the UK?

You have indo greek art we have literally nothing indian in Greece go back to pooinlooland

Wrong. Get your facts straight. Alexander defeated and captured the indian king and later set him free.he never lost a battle in his life, hence the name, "Great"

Comparing rulers and peoples who lived in ancient times to today is an ahistorical act to begin with, and don't pretend Indians don't do the same with their own past.

>confusing bravery with kindness

Persians and Indians were not renowned for their kindness either, are you seriously bringing up this point when Ashoka slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Indians in his military campaigns? Are you aware that slavery existed in India before the Greeks arrived?

The Macedonians were worn out after their campaigns against the Persians, no surprise they won a victory against the Punjab kingdom and decided to move on.

Pretending what you're putting forward is unbiased and balanced, devoid of any nationalistic or revisionist sentiments is not believable in the slightest.

TL;DR - do not respond to this idiot, he ignores points and spams whatever favors his view. Sage.
