Some people are innocents and blindly follow that Alexander defeated porus.

King Porus defeated Alexander. If Alexander was the winner then why he didn't move further to face Magadh empire why he returned in between?

Alexander army saw the elephants in the army for the first time and the weather was in favour of King Pururva.

Jhelum.

The territory of Porus who offered strong resistance to Alexander was situated between the rivers of Jhelum and Chenab.

This area is currently consist upon the following cities of Pakistani Punjab (Mandi Bhauddin-Phalia -Gujrat-Jhelum-Sargodha.

Main battlefield of this war called "MONG" which is 8km in NW from Mandi Bhauddin. &5 km in SE from river Jhelum.

When Alexander got badly injured ، his dearest horse/mare (Bocephalous) bear and bring him away almost 30 Km from the battle yard. & Alex. Got another life but bocephalis got death by hanging with its own rope.

Alex was we sorrowful at the death of his beloved mare?

He formed a city and named it Bosephalos after the war and after many centuries the Punjabi speakings changed its name Bosephalos to Phalia because in Punjabi hanging with a rope called Phaa -Lia so this city is known as Phalia currently.

This location is also famous for the battle of Chillianwala (final Sikh-Anglo war 1849).

Porus was an ancient Indian king whose territory spanned the region between the Jhelum River (Hydaspes) and Chenab River (Acesines), in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent.

He stood firmly against the invasion of Alexander the great.
