In 326 BC, Alexander invaded India, after crossing the river Indus he advanced towards Taxila. He then challenged king Porus , ruler of the kingdom between the rivers Jhelum and Chenab. The Indians were defeated in the fierce battle, even though they fought with elephants, which the Macedonians had never before seen. Alexander captured Porus and, like the other local rulers he had defeated, allowed him to continue to govern his territory.

During this trip to rivers Hydaspes and Indus in the south, Alexander sought out the Indian philosophers, the Brahmins, who were famous for their wisdom, and debated with them on philosophical issues. He became legendary for centuries in India for being both, a wise philosopher and a fearless conqueror.

One of the villages in which the army halted belonged to the Mallis, who were said to be one of the most warlike of the Indian tribes. Alexander was wounded several times in this attack, most seriously when an arrow pierced his breastplate and his ribcage. The Macedonian officers rescued him in a narrow escape from the village.

Alexander and his army reached the mouth of the Indus in July 325 BC, and turned westward for home.


After knowing it is useless to fight anymore. Cannot win

There was no complete India to begin with at that time. By then the Khan's army was over-streteched and did not move south. But they occupied much of the North, foster ties with local rulers to control regional khanate. Many local girls had breeding with mongolian warriors.

His army didn't progress more than a few kilometres a day..... There were too many sarabat stalls along the way.... Many were decimated by cholera...... History as we know it......

Because in the forest, they kill the snake first rather than the Keh leng Kia

Good question 👍
Come to think of it, none great single conqueror ever did. Now you'd spark my interest for research of knowledge.
Descendants of mongols (Akbar Khan) did conquer India, the Mughal emperors.

Alexander’s men mutinied after defeating Indian army becos they were tired of fighting n wanna go home
