Porus won ! Kings and Generals all you have to do is separate the “ Facts “ which we have been Taught from the “ Narrative “ 1 ) There was no “ LEFT TURN “ like moment here unlike the Battle of Gaugamela and King Porus fought till the end even you mention in this channel that the retreating men went back to the elephants ( KEYPOINT TO BE NOTED ) 2 ) All historians agree that the horses where Scared of the Elephants due to the Fact that the “ WAR ELEPHANTS “ way of Killing by throwing horses and men to death and Alexander horse died and even he was injured . 3 ) All agree that the elephants were killed finally by Men with Long Spears in the end and the Arrows Caused them to Trample them and no one mentions them being Set on fire or something Dramatic to Spook them . LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS MAKES NO SENSE ! 1 ) A “War elephant “ does not need the handler commands to fight in close combat ! The handler job is the Control the elephant and the Elephant will make decision on its own to handle close encounters and charges ! If the Army had killed all the handlers the King would have only Lost the Organisational Capacity of the Elephant line which would have made them Pursue threats beyond range or strategy of the King leaving room for them to be Taken down Easily or the King not able to use them as part of a strategy but nothing like that has happened here , if it would have happened they would have mentioned like the “ LEFT TURN “ in the battle of Gaugamela . 2 ) Horses that know Greek Drama theory - The Horse were Scared of the Elephants now how did he inspire them back ? I dont think horses understand Greek Drama ! that is the Reason they all say in unison the infantry killing the elephants . The Cavalry was not effective to allow them a close shot at the elephants and Alexander was completely outwitted here since the horses would not corporate and had a tough time in handling them and offering them a close shot at the elephants ( not to mention the Terrain which suited the charging elephants Much more than horses ) Which Brings us to the Final Reasoning why Alexander Troops have to get down and fight on their feet now they have to Cross indian cavalry in speed and archers hiding in bushes hitting you as well ! they wont be there playing with their thumbs ! 3 ) Finally the Men with Long spears theory. really ?? you think Men with Phalanx can Actually Kill “ War Elephants “ ! These are War elephants and wont be spooked that easily with injuries or Drum noises unless Set on Fire or Chili Powder thrown in their eyes ! They would be Trained to identify Friend from Foe and would be Training side by side with the army and they have a very High IQ ! Just imagine a bunch of guys outnumbering a elephant herd in Kruger park with Phalanx and killing them or Making them Panic causing them to kill their own baby elephants because of some arrows or attacking them from both sides ! First A single elephant charge will Crush 100 guys in a horrible way “ which they mention “ would Make anyone run and break line ! Also elephants are not Chariots they can change direction and duck a Phalanx attack and you cant outrun and Match a elephant in speed with a long spear ! 4 ) Finally Alexander being much younger in Age would have been Let off by the Much Older King according to Tradition and of course Teach him some humility ! which explains his change of character in his deathbed ! There is no way King Porus would have bent his knee to a King much younger than him . He would Rather kill himself than bend his knee to a younger king in his own Country ! I m telling this based on “ Facts “ you have given ! Let me leave it at that ! Just think about the Kruger Park scene of a herd of elephants vs 100 Mike Tyson’s with Long spears for a second ! (Sounds like Russell Crowe Killing a Tiger in Gladiator or Rana Taming a Gaur in Bahubali ! Its Possible in film not in real life ! )
