Question

How are porus and chandragupta maurya related?

Answer 1

There is no direct relationship between Porus and Chandragupta Maurya. However, according to Indian history, the Mauryan empire was established by Chandragupta Maurya just after Alexander established his presence in Northwestern India.

Chandragupta Maurya wanted to fight against Alexander but he did not have enough resources. So, he decided to seek the assistance of Porus who was the ruler of the neighboring kingdom of Gandhar. Only Porus was capable of fighting against Alexander. His strength increased with Chandragupta Maurya’s support. At the beginning, Porus had the upper hand. Unfortunately, his elephant suddenly became wild and was out of control. As a result, he lost the battle to Alexander who later signed a treaty with him. When this happened, Chandragupta Maurya decided to part ways with Porus.
