The only South Asians to defeat the Greeks-Mauryas

[As is - where is]

Alexander beat Porus even though his force at the time was much smaller. Ofc Porus still managed to inflict heavy damage on Alexander's army and because of this he is usually seen as the most skilled and capable opponent that Alexander has faced. Alexander himself recognized that and let Porus have full control over his kingdom and made him an ally. As for the reason that Alexander stopped advancing, the main one is the morale of his troops. Tired after years of continuous fighting and after having faced their greatest opponent so far they became discouraged and asked Alexander to end the campaign there.

Read more abt nicator and no Alexander was no nicator ... He built an empire in his youth from the tiny Macedonia .. Occupying n defeating super powers of tht time.. And do share the history where his troops got scared of Mauryas ..

There were no Mauryas at that time it was the Nanda empire .

"Alexander intended to march on and cross the River Ganges toward further conquests, but his troops, worn out by the hard-fought battle with Porus (in which, according to Arrian, Alexander lost 1000 men), mutinied and refused to go further. Alexander tried to persuade his men to press on but, failing to win them over, finally assented to their wishes. He split his army in two, sending half back to Susa by sea under the command of Admiral Nearchus through the Persian Gulf, and marching the other half on through the Gedrosian Desert. "
Alexander the Great -- Ancient History Encyclopedia

"The army continued advancing as far as the river Hydaspes but at this point the Macedonians refused to go farther as reports were coming of far more larger and dangerous armies ahead equipped with many elephants and chariots. General Coenus spoke on army's behalf to the king. Reluctantly, Alexander agreed to stop here. Not too long afterwards Coenus died and the army buried him with the highest honors."
Alexander the Great (Alexander of Macedon) Biography

"He was anxious to press on farther, and he had advanced to the Hyphasis when his army mutinied, refusing to go farther in the tropical rain; they were weary in body and spirit, and Coenus, one of Alexander’s four chief marshals, acted as their spokesman. On finding the army adamant, Alexander agreed to turn back."

It seems the Madarsas need to update their syllabus

Seleucus had to deal with a much larger and powerful empire under the Mauryas which Alexander never had to face, no doubt Alexander's acheivements were remarkable but he barely managed to defeat a petty king like Porus.

We became a vassal state but we were never ruled, and all of NE India was never conquered by Muslims because the Assamese defeated the Mughals LOL. Just admit it, we Mongoloid South Asians are superior to you Middle Eastern wannabes.

Why do you fall into this psychobabble marital superiority BS with Pakistanis???

Remember...only those that have no achievements to show for in the present, cling to the past....
This forum is a glaring example of the same...

umm, no mate, the seleucid empire wasn't larger than Alexander's empire. Seleucus Nicator was one of the four Diadochi, each of whom usurped a part of Alexander's empire and began independent rule.

That was an error on my part, got carried away a bit.
