Point to be noted . Dickraa can also morph into a Persian on the banks of the Jhelum in what was then & now considered firmly Indic territory . Oh Khodai ! Insaan ko sab kuch de par galat faymee mat de.
How many Hindu Porus's do you know.
I know plenty of Parsi Porus's (one my Dad's cousin in Kanpur).
We also spell it as Paurus.
Quite surprising no that possibly your greatest (and only) military encounter against a global military power, and yet there is not one Hindu who gets named after "your" hero?
Don't make me laugh man.
Cheers, Doc
Please educate yourself and see the extent of Darius's empire.
Bechare, yeh bhi le liya .... ab kya bacha?
Cheers, Doc
Did it ever occur to you that the name Porus comes to us from Greek Sources . Who in turn had approached Indic realms thru their Persian subjects who were more familiar with those Indic realms and people ? Did it occur to you then that the Greeks may have used those names as recorded by those Persian sources for Indic realms , places , peoples and rulers ?
Tell me Dickraa , are you by chance a homeopathic doctor practising allopathy ? It's a fair & serious question . To think , Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based the character of Sherlock Holmes on his doctor friend who had sharp analytical skills often basing his diagnosis on strong powers of observation and deduction of his patients maladies at a time of practically zero diagnostic tools , tests and kits and then there's you .I wonder when will someone make a parody of Sherlock Holmes - Homi Jasoos.
Porus was the name as he was called by The Greeks
His Indian Name was something else ; you can Google it

Please educate yourself on the extent of his empire in Indic realms .
What are you getting so cocky over? The world knows you for Thermopylae, Marathon and Gaugamela; and little else. As for separating mythology from history, perhaps we could carry out a similar exercise with the Qissa i Sanjan?
As for Porus, maybe he was also a Parsi Maratha...
Lol the joke and the famouus Indian Yogi rope trick continues!
A Parsi kid growing up in India has two epiphanies in his school years.
The first is when he studies about brave "Indian" king Porus and goes home and tells his parents (or grandparents) wide eyed how ancient Indian Kings were named same as us.
The second is when we learn that the map of India we learn to proudly trace freehand, actually does not and never existed at the mukut.
Bahut ho gaya yaar yeh nautanki.
Cheers, Doc
If you Zorastrians were really as Great and strong as you claim
you would have been more RESILIENT
All great civilisations have shown Resilience and there is a substantial part of their History
which can still be seen
For example Mongols and Greeks had huge empires ; today they are small countries
But still something DOES remain of their past
It is Only Zorastrians who have been wiped out ROOT and Branch
with only small " leaves " like you scattered around the Globe
Let's agree to disagree.
You say he's ancient Vedic tribe.
We know him to be a Persian satrap. A Bahdinan at that.
We have never stopped calling our boys Porus.
Why would Persians name their boys after a Hindu king?
Cheers, Doc
There's no written records of Porus in Indic sources . Perhaps the Indics of that age never considered Alexander more than an irritant . The mythologization of Alexander happened with the conquest of India by Britain and other Western European nation States who saw themselves as ideological heirs of the Greco Roman civilization .Along with that mythologization came a similar mythologization of all the lands and the rulers Alexander conquered. It's funny actually , for Rome had colonised most of Western Europe and was perpetually at war with the Franks , Germanic tribes , the Celts and what have you the ancestors of most of those Western European powers who literally worshipped Alexander and his Greeks .
It's also rather ironical to consider that a world conquering monarch , gave in to his soldiers entreaties and decamped after prevailing against a local Indic ruler of little significance. It helps that most of the received history of Alexander were written a good 100 - 200 years or more after those triumphs based on original material long since lost to history .

Now you are just talking like pakistanis do
For them History begins after the advent of Islam
The Modern Indian state is the Result of Hindu Civilisations and Kingdoms that existed at
Various points of time in India
It would also be helpful to note that Taxila a renowned university in Indic sources of all subjects Indic was very much in the vicinity of a "Persian Satrap " ruled by a person called Ambhiraj according to those very Greek sources you quote . How many Hindu boys carry that name or even that of Chandragupta or Bindusara?
Please read on P.N.Oak. Your brand of history and that of your fellow dickraas mirror his.
A very good example of cutting ones nose to spite ones face. Keep it up dickraa.
You can blame your pyaare chacha Nehru and secoooolar Congress for that one. He was the one who dithered on sending troops to Kashmir then went running to the UN mid-war.

In the Beginning was Sanskrit. Really?
Here , dickraa . You are our very own resident Parsi version of him .
Ugfff. Leave it man. I'm reading a pretty tricky paper and this buffoonery is distracting.
Cheers, Doc
