    What about his army of Malhi Jats?

    (Malli of Multan)

    Didnt they give Sikander a real, tough fight??

    Correct me if I have got something wrong ...

    Hi Raman,

    We don’t even know if the Malloi of Multan were the same as present day Malhi Jats. I would be more inclined to believe that Alexander had Jat fighting FOR him than AGAINST him!

    Hi Sunny,

    Why would you say fighting for him rather than against?
    Didnt he have thousands upon thousands of Greek warriors with him (as the stories etc) go?

    Unrelated: Isnt there a movie about to be released about Alexander The Great?

    Hi Raman,

    We know Alexander always desired to have fresh troops from regions he conquered and often relieve his former officers to become Satraps or governor of his newly conquered territory. So before Sikandar entered the Panjab, he waged war against the Central Asians, in fact, he married a Sogdianian gal name Roxanne – the most beautiful gal he had ever seen! There too he picked up many fresh troops and took them with him on his Indian campaign - the ancient writer Arrian documents, “Alexander himself selected the special squadron the companions,…and the cavalry from Bactria and Sogdiana, the Scythian horsemen [Massagetae], with the Dahae, mounted archers…”.

    Best Wishes,
