Answers
Porus or Puru was an ancient Indian king, whose territory spanned the region between the Hydaspes and Acesines in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent. He is credited to have been a legendary warrior with exceptional skills. Porus fought against Alexander the Great in the Battle of the Hydaspes thought to be fought at the site of modern-day Mong, Punjab, which is now part of Pakistan. Though not recorded in any available ancient Indian source,[3] Ancient Greek historians have described the battle and the aftermath of Alexander's victory. Anecdotally, after the defeat and arrest of Porus in the war, Alexander asked Porus how he would like to be treated. Porus, although defeated, proudly stated that he would like to be treated like a king. Alexander was reportedly so impressed by his adversary that he not only reinstated him as a satrap of his own kingdom but also granted him dominion over lands to the south-east extending until the Hyphasis Porus reportedly died sometime between 321 and 315 BC.
The only information available on Porus and his kingdom is from Greek sources, whereas neither Indian nor Iranian sources mention him. The region of Porus' domain was previously governed by the Achaemenid Empire, and it is not know exactly when it gained independence.
Some modern scholars have conjectured that based on his name, Porus may have been a ruler of the Purus, a clan known to have inhabited north-western India since the Vedic period.According to the eminent Vedic Scholar & Philologist, Dr. Michael Witzel, The Pūrus seem to have lived in the Panjab at the time of Alexander's invasion, whose principal battle was fought against King Poros. That Poros belongs to the Pūru is suggested by the frequently attested practice of naming princes after their clan: Panini does it for the Kamboja Iranian Kambujiya.
