Alexander returned because of Porus's shocking resistance in his way. Alexander's army was greatly afraid of elephant-army of indigenous king and they refused Alexander in his campaign according to Hollywood movie "Alexander-The great". They had to fight with Nanda dynasty which was huge and most powerful in south asia.

The bravery, war skills and princely attitude of Porus greatly impressed Alexander, who allowed him to rule Hydaspes in Alexander's name. Wounded in his shoulder, standing at over 2.1 m (7 feet) tall, he was asked by Alexander how he wished to be treated. "Treat me, O Alexander, like a king" Porus responded. Alexander would indeed treat him like a king, allowing him to retain his kingship.
