Will definitely use this line from now if some westerner insists Alexander "defeated" King Paurava:
"LOL - your greatest conqueror in history shat his pants after barely defeating one of our random minor kings, and his army morale dropped so hard, it made him cry like a baby."
Btw, this king was so random and minor, he is not even mentioned in Indian sources.
- And he retained his kingdom after the war with Alexander.
- Not only that, Porus' kingdom was significantly expanded west after the war.
- Which was all annexed by Chandragupta Maurya later after Porus. Not the Greeks or their satraps.
- And Alexander forces mutinied declining to march further east.
My strong belief is that Greek sources made the defeat into "hard fought win", Porus retaining the kingdom into "Alexander reinstated him", and Porus expanding his kingdom significantly to the west as "Alexander gifted Porus land."
Only a fool will do all these. These claims (most of them conflicting even in Greek sources) were cherry picked and made into facts by modern western scholars for they could not accept a minor Indian king with his war elephants defeated Alexander.
Indian sources do not talk anything about this Alexander's war to the west of Indus not because they weren't recording (so many other great Indian literature was being created long before and around that time). But because the war was so minor by Indian standards and the invader was chased away quickly.

Pakistan Cleric Reveals Shocking Truth, Exposes Dark Side Of Kashmir Insurgency
It’s a rather shocking claim from within Pakistan has reignited the debate over the Kashmir conflict. Pakistani cleric Mufti Saeed Khan has alleged that insurgents exploited vulnerable women, forcing them to trade basic survival for sexual favours. His remarks, made during a lecture on “Kashmir and our hypocrisy,” have triggered strong reactions and raised serious questions.
From an India perspective, this statement appears to validate long-standing concerns about the human cost of cross-border terrorism. For years, Indian agencies have pointed to the role of proxy groups backed by Pakistan’s establishment. Now, an internal voice seems to echo those claims.
However, the issue remains sensitive and requires verification. In conflict zones, narratives are often contested. Yet, even the possibility of such exploitation is deeply disturbing. As global attention returns to Kashmir, this moment highlights a harsh truth beyond politics and propaganda, it is ordinary people who suffer the most.

#VIRTUALS chart is proof that if you want to launch an AI project, do it on Base
I have seen so many people comparing solana tokens to base tokens such as VIRTUAL and $AIXBT
but what they fail to realize is that one is on solana and the other is base which makes a huge difference
the #1 fair-launched AI coin on solana, $GOAT that supposedly 'started the AI Agents meta' peaked at $1.3B and is currently sitting at $550M and this is not even mentioning the liquidity of it which was much much lower, as all tokens on solana are
it also got flipped by a beta to itself $FARTCOIN which is 36% larger than GOAT
even the #1 VC AI coin on solana $GRASS hit an ATH of only $880M and is currently sitting at only $600M
meanwhile you have VIRTUALS that is fully circulating with a huge amount of liquidity with a chart like this. you even have a VIRTUALS beta such as $GAME which is sitting at 270M, 50% of the marketcap of the "token that started the AI Agents meta"
i know alot of solana bagholders are going to get angry at this tweet, the top for ai coins on base is in when these same people start shilling base tokens
