What an explanation sir.. hats off to you just excellent ❤
@christeankapp6549
I don't disagree with your additional conclusion. It makes sense but what about logistics? I assumed Alexander practiced living off the land but do the sources mention problems? An army cannot march on an empty stomach
@TheOneWhoKnocks70
It was also decisive decision from Alexander's part, i like how he didn't gey coc*y with all of the victory and pay heed to his soldiers.

Why did India decline after 1100's. Actually climate. Beginning the 1200's the famines started in India, making large empires unsustainable. India moved to medium sized empires, although still large by global standards. It would be incorrect to say the Indians couldn't defend. The Islamic empires finished empires from Spain to Iran in 15 to 25 years each. It took them 70 years to get only a small foothold in Sindh and then another 400 to reach Delhi where they remained restricted to the city for 150 years. The British started in 1495 and finally captured India in 1820's with major rebellion in 1857. They ruled for another 90 and left after WW2 after the smallest hint of another rebellion in the 2 million strong Indian armed forces. India did not have a technology disadvantage....remember they invented missiles centuries before anyone else. Horses were an issue.....the Arabian stock could outrun and out carry Indian breeds. Indians also did not have sufficient grasslands to breed them in large numbers.

Our History's conclusion: warriors > some freakin' kings Well, God bless our Indian Army.
@yashbheda3335
One more important thing to consider is that ,in the history of alexander , his army was a rotating army . He used to change his soldiers from his campaigns in Persia and other areas , his Greek core also was stationed for resting in various places from time to time . The fatigue point makes no sense. The point that soldiers missed their family is a poor attempt to save face by Western historians , the soldiers had wives and concubines wherever they went . They didn't have a family back home for a long time , makes nk sense to suddenly miss them just at the gates of India. The third point is that porus prospered after the war ... Why would a losing king prosper after the war ?
@vinz8081-2
Great explanation brother. But please try making a detailed video on Semiremis invasion of India and how Semiremis herself was stopped by an Indian king named Stabobrates, as he is called by the Greeks.
@ethinesvedi7246
Can you please do videos on less know kings of india like malik ambar and others like him 🙏
@asifhassan4980
The Sources You quote for estimate of Nanda Army is NOT Contemporary !! Contemporary sources mention nothing about Nanda or its Army strength ! Third thing the Tactis of shooting arrow in to the eyes of elephant worked wonderfully well as regards to Porus defeat is concerned !!
@Professionalracist6970
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles”. “Pick your battles carefully, knowing which ones is fought to worth and which not”. - sun tzn Those words define this video very easily . Alexander didn’t know much about the land he standing(india) but he clearly had the idea what he’s standing against. He standing against a nanda army which is 2 times or more larger than his army, with Hundreds of elephants. But “mentally” the nanda army is far more superior then the Devastated homesick Macedonian army. So only a stupid can take the Decision to fight in those Circumstances. For Alexander Prospective it’s clear: go back to Babylon, Stabilise your Authorities and throne. Build an greek-persian army over Hundred thousand soldiers. Bring Ethiopian/African (Through Egypt) and Indian elements. Gather more information about your enemies Weaknesses (political rivalry with chandragupta). And then nock them for battle in their most Vulnerable time! Same thing Philip ii did with greek city-states and Alexander with the parsian empire.

@Progamermove_2003
Nanda Empire forced Alexander to retreat by their mere existence only for people to forget about them today. I've heard certain people claiming that Puru had actually defeated Alexander and that most sources are lying about the battle. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing for Westerners to admit that a certain Indian power forced Alexander to retreat by it's mere existence?
@Ajamidha
0:13 Eastern shore?
@girishg414
The bigger question is why Alexander returned via strange Balochi lands where his armies were constantly harrassed?
@Kanishhkaa
The big big reasons were ... 1. They were tired of excessive fightings 2. They heard the glory and strength of Nandas

@Invincible2203
Nicely put, but what I have read about Alexander the great, he would rather die fighting in the east than to have to return, his ambitions were too great for that, he returned(not actually, Macedonians also went through mallian campaign after mutiny at hyphasis river) only because his soldiers were not eager to fight for whatever reason.
