battle of hydaspes

[Agnihotra]

a battle record written by greek historians who were were Alexander during his conquest.
@padamchen you are the one who claimed that Porus was a Persian, kindly tell us why you think that.

its really surprising for me to see war elephants in Dry Regions such as (W)Punjab during ancient times, i wonder how they maintained such a large squad of elephants with little food-supply.

I've already written in significant detail on it. With carefully referenced sources, primarily Greek (Arian, Herodotus) as well as Le Clare.

Have you ever met a Hindu called Porus.

Tons of Parsi boys to this day are named Porus.

Any reason why Parsi parents would name their boys after a Hindu king?

What an irrational argument.

First off, his true name was not even Porus. Greek versions of names were significantly different than indigenous versions; an example being how the Greeks named the 5 rivers of the Indus region.

Secondly why would Hindus be named after him, most likely he was not Hindu and even them, not any of indigenous names (of the Indus region) recorded from that era are used by Hindus today. The names of that era are still scarcely used in rural Punjab, mainly as nicknames like Paaka and Mako, but no where else are these names used.

Thirdly, half of the names in Iran are still indigenous; "Porus" is not a name there at all.

You should give up your desperate attempts of trying to steal our history and heritage.

You are as ignorant as you consistently seen to be on topics you know little of and are I'll equipped to debate.

His name and the traditional Persian name that even today many of us (Parsi and Irani) have is Porushasp.

Its modernized Hellenized version is Porus.

So he was a persian Hindu makes sense (in your world)

He was a Persian satrap leading Hindu soldiers. From the territory he administered on behalf of the Persian emperor. Taxes and standing armies. Non-hostile neighbors and expanding control. Core empire versus outlying peripheral satrapies. That's how the Persians operated. And controlled such a vast empire.
