@babloos

we had telugu movie on this chankya being insulted by nanda and he was the key person in making of chandra gupta maurya ,never thought he came for help,also didn’t porus give up his own land instead of fighting…

alexander army feared they could loose to huge nanda army at that time,especially after 10 years of constant battles they had to cross huge river..
also i remember serial on doordarshan about chankya

Porus fought against Alexander in the battle of Jhelum, it is against ethics of Kshatriya to surrender, In entire hindu history of fighting they lost due to strategy but surrendering wasn’t ever an option ever:). Patlipura was on the other side of River ganga, and the river bed near patna is more than 5 Kms, his army was tired of fighting, hence leaving governor incharge of punjab selucus necator:)

Yes, there was a serial on Chankya that was aired from star before this all K dramas by Ekta Kapoor. May be they got rights from DD.

I think Porus fought and defeated by Alexander and when Alexander asked from Porus about he should be treated, he replied ‘Like Kings treat Kings’

Indeed, those were the words, but revenge is not over, it was because of Alexander, he went to ask for support to Nanda and got humiliated, hence Selucus was the next target, Chandragupta marched and defeated Selucus, chankya offered marriage of Chandragupta Maurya to the Princess Helana, daughter of governor as a part of peace deal. Marriage got consummated and hence revenge got completed:D, his neetishashtra, book on politics was written in Patliputra, in his honour, India’s diplomatic enclave is known as Chankyapuri:)
