Not sure why no body talks about traitor Ambhi's Alliance with Alexander?
Ambhi, the ruler of Takshasila (modern-day Pakistan), sent gifts to Alexander as a gesture of surrender while Alexander was still in Sardognia, yet to reach Taxilla. Ambhi sought Alexander's support against Porus.
- Ambhi assisted in constructing a bridge over the Indus at Hund (Fox 1973), supplied Alexander's troops with provisions, and welcomed Alexander and his entire army.
- During the subsequent advance of the Macedonian king, Ambhi accompanied him with a force of 5,000 men and participated in the Battle of the Hydaspes.
Marxist novelists claim, "Alexander was impressed by Porus and hence returned his title and territory." However, the reality was that Alexander was intimidated by the strong Magadh Empire.
Within ten years of Alexander's arrival in India, Chandragupta Maurya conquered Alexander's satraps in the subcontinent, marking the beginning of a new era of Hellenistic influence on India.
The novelist wont show you this map of Gupta empire who took control of Alex's satrapis within 10 years and continue to control for more than a century.
The elephants and the Mahouts in Gangadarai which probably got "Alex" their great scared and return.
