**The history of Pakistan, as told in these textbooks, is nothing more than a history of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. The books exalt Muslim rulers of the subcontinent, depicting them to be epitome of righteousness with the sole agenda to spread Islam, even though all of them were invaders with an expansionist agenda. **They vilify all local non-Muslim rulers as having an inherent hatred towards Islam, even though they might have been simply fighting an oppressor or invader. The names of the non-Muslim rulers are never mentioned. ****

Could not have said it better. :k:

Porus was not the looser. Its a myth that Alexandra forgiven him and returned back his rule. Why could a person who was determined to conquer the whole world would have treated an enemy so well. Why didn’t he show same attitude with any other king. Porus id fought well and thats why Greek army retreated.

In history of wars, two things determined who won the war:

1. Who remained the ruler afterwards. There is nothing like forgiving enemies like the Bullsh!t ‘treat as kings treat other kings’. Kings don’t forgive rival kings, they even don’t spare progeny of rivals.

2. The change of route. Alexandra did changed his route from Punjab, which clearly says that he had to face great resistance in Punjab.

Strabo, the Greek historian wrote: “Generally speaking, the men who have written on the affairs of India were a set of liars…Of this we became the more convinced whilst writing the history of Alexander.”

Above all, in wars heroes are not those who won, heroes are those who dare to face the mightier one. Example: Karbala.
