A Statue for A Pakistani Punjabi Hero.....Porus

There should be consistency in arguments.
If the guy who wants to build a statue in Porus' memory claims that Porus was a Pakistani Punjabi hero since his(poster's) folks belong to Porus' clan, surely he cannot refute the fact that Porus was a Hindu and therefore an Indian king as several posters have already established with references that Porus was a Hindu.
Calling Porus a Pakistani is just so much humbug and with such bigotted views of history this gentleman will never get the stautue up.
Also by claiming ancestry of Porus clan, he is also rubbishing the oft heard Pakistani claim that Pakistanis are not Indians but are of Irano-Turkic-Afghano-Arab origin.

Build a statute dude if Indians are to be trusted every thing from Vatican city to Kaaba is a Hindu relic :coffee: It befitting that the most famous building in India is Taj Mahal, a fine specimen of Muslim Architecture (though a state policy has been started to convert it into Tejo Mahalaya.

Google P. N. Oak to check the intellectual level of the most popular Historain in India and get familiar with the term 'deep punning' :lol:

I don't get it.
Why do Pakistanis want to build a statue for Porus. Porus lost the battle against Alexander and
didn't achieve anything.
Its understandable if people from Bihar want to build a statue for Chandragupta who defeated the Greek invaders or if people from south India decide to build a statue for Pulakesi who defeated the Arab invaders in the 8th century. There should also be a statue for Skandagupta who defeated the Hun invaders in the 5th century in central India.
These kings defeated the foreign invaders and protected the major part of India but Porus
didn't achieve anything so there shouldn't be a statue for him.

There is no state policy on the Taj Mahal,even though i wish there was one as you suggested.

We have more than ample proof about specific mahals being built upon destroyed temples,so we have leverage on it.

And regarding Porus,you certainly have zero argument there.

Prous ll always remain a hindu king and Kshatriyas who convert for money/land are dalaals,hence cease to have izzat/honour.

My ancestral family village is in Jhelum - close to the site of the historical battle of Hydaspes River with Alexander the Great, our Jatt village is known for producing Warriors for generations, we have oral tradition of fighting in the battle against Alexander, right up to the modern day, when we send our sons and daughters to fight for the Pakistani Armed Forces.

To cut a long story short, our village is thinking of erecting two statues and a monument to Alexander and Porus. To pay tribute to the two great warriors of their times, one a Greek Macedonian and the other a Pakistani Punjabi

It is a shame that their is no significant monument to this ancient battle.:pakistan:

you keep thinking, the greek govt and some people from Pakistan who consider Alexander the loser as alexander the great, are going to built a memorial for Alexander near janab where the battle is suppose to have taken place.

He conquered a vast part of the world, BUT....
He ran with his tail down his legs from Indus to Multan?

A worthy adversary, but he couldn't handle the *** whoopings.

Isn't statue building akin to idol worshipping? But then again - so is the construction of the idols of various missiles which adorn Pakistan. Why Porus - you can claim Lincoln, Mandela and Gandhi also - why not build one for L.K. Advani too - a Pakistani Sindhi.
 
.
Think about security. Erecting an idol would attract Islamists as well.

Good luck!

:D So that Indians could blame his Pakistani identity for his defeats .

he was defeated by Raja Porus. this is a fact, and actually died on his way back due to wounds.

read Aitzaz Ahsan's book The Indus Saga to know the truth about Alexander's defeat in the very first battle with Punjab's Raja Porus.

I have no part in this.

It was @Rafi 's glorious ancestors that charged the greek forces with their cavalry, strike fear into their hearts. The Greeks never realized that they were stumbling unto an entire continent.
