sorry dear thers a correction. i'd read in my hsitory book that chanykya went 2 dhananand 2 stop alex entering India but dhananda insulted him & thatswhy Chanyakya took CGM after seeing his qlties 2 bcum a gud king !! so chanyakya never wanted ales 2 defeat dhanand!!

thats sad thing that history  has been distirted,chankya was great ,but he didnt fool alexander,,credit should go to porus,who is shown vwry week in the show😭

 @ bold u r rite. among 2 rulers of principalities of NW India only Porus fought bravely & Ambhi readily submitted 2 the Alex!!

@ all :

         chanakya was a gr8 politician no doubt, but it's equally true dat he didnt do anything to fool alex's greek army to leave India. d greek army was actually homesick & tired aftr fighting battles, one aftr d another endlessly, but, even den dat wasnt d only reason y dey revolted.

           read dis article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Hydaspes_River
   
         it says dat d greek soldiers wer actually frightened by d war elephants although Porus didnt hv many ( abt 200 ) & wen dey heard dat d Magadha empire had a huge army ( it had d largest standing army in d world dat tym..read dis article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandragupta_Maurya) it was more dan enuf to discourage dem 4m proceeding further into India.

i read  only one-forth of the article but almost agree that if alex'd confronted any of the indian rulers in the east he wud'd been defeated. Chanyakya might'd plotted sumthing against greek army or even possibly sent sum spies in greek army but directly sending CGM wasn't possible as he educated him in takshshila for 8yrs. wen CGM was 11 or 12 yrs.old!!

i agree wid u as i also rem reading this part abt 4given & left by porus!!and sumwhere i also read that porus wud'd killed alex but didn't as alex one of the wife'd sent rakhi 2 porus & rembing that he didn't kill alex ( don't know how much it is true)!!!😊
