The phanalx is rigid with slow mobility, Phalanx is very vulnerable to horse archers and archers. Most of the Alexanders stories are fantasies.Alexanders Phalanx was unstoppable and he could probably steamroll past any infantry us Indians will throw at him. It will be interesting to see how he deals with 3,000+ elephants.
Indians didn't use horse archery pre Gupta era if I am aware. The Phalanx was very beatable, I'm surpirsed no one figured out it's weakness.The phanalx is rigid with slow mobility, Phalanx is very vulnerable to horse archers and archers. Most of the Alexanders stories are fantasies
This is more like claiming since Horse bones are not found in one site of Indian civilization(Harappa and mohenjadaro) Vedas do not belong to India.Indians didn't use horse archery pre Gupta era if I am aware. The Phalanx was very beatable, I'm surpirsed no one figured out it's weakness.
Are there any records of the Nandas or Mauryans using horse archery? Indian horses also weren't of the best quality. I know they used mounted archers and archers on chariots as well as elephants.History written by English is fake as their claims, Mounted archers are mentioned in Mahabharata which is atleast 1000 years BC.
ASI needs to excavate and rewrite the history with facts.Are there any records of the Nandas or Mauryans using horse archery? Indian horses also weren't of the best quality. I know they used mounted archers and archers on chariots as well as elephants.
I wish there were more records on the war with the Seleucids, Mauryas campaign against the Macedonian garrisons of Alexander, Chandragupta's campaign against the Sakas.ASI needs to excavate and rewrite the history with facts.
There are two chandra Guptas in history, The mauryan empire as per the latest assertions from our scholoars is of 6 century BC.
British intentionally censored some part of Indian history.

Annihalted is a too big of a word. We simply knew that he fought some campaign against Seleucus and was able to hold his own, which is no small achievement considering that Macedonians had the best army of its time.He was annihilated By Chandragupta Maurya

It doesn't imply a defeat. In fact, Seleucus got 500 elephants which were decisive in the battle of Ispus. Marriage alliances were common back then.Greeks thinks They are Superior Race Do you think they Will marry
there Princess To What they considered Barbaric race
Read Treaty of Indus
He captured All north west from Satraps
) The order in which these nations are disposed is as follows. Along the Indus are the Paropamisadæ, above whom lies the mountain Paropamisus; then towards the south are the Arachoti; then next to these towards the south, the Gedroseni, together with other tribes who occupy the sea-coast; the Indus runs parallel along the breadth of these tracts. The Indians occupy [in part]16 some of the countries situated along the Indus, which formerly belonged to the Persians: Alexander deprived the Ariani of them, and established there settlements of his own. But Seleucus Nicator gave them to Sandrocottus in consequence of a marriage contract, and received in return five hundred elephants.
Almost All Historical accounts states that His campaign was failure not Only Greeks but Indian & romanIt doesn't imply a defeat. In fact, Seleucus got 500 elephants which were decisive in the battle of Ispus. Marriage alliances were common back then.
Not a single one of those sources provided any evidence of his failure. As I already said, Chandragupta gave Seleucus 500 elephants as well. It must've been a stalemate. Also, keep in mind, the Seleucids were more focused on their western fronts.Almost All Historical accounts states that His campaign was failure not Only Greeks but Indian & roman
Greek and Roman sources, which are the oldest surviving records that mention Chandragupta or circumstances related to him; these include those by Nearchus, Onesicritus, Aristobulus, Strabo, Megasthenes, Diodorus, Arrian, Pliny the Elder, Plutarch and Justin.
The geographical position of the tribes is as follows: along the Indus are the Paropamisadae, above whom lies the Paropamisus mountain: then, towards the south, the Arachoti: then next, towards the south, the Gedroseni, with the other tribes that occupy the seaboard; and the Indus lies, latitudinally, alongside all these places; and of these places, in part, some that lie along the Indus are held by Indians, although they formerly belonged to the Persians. Alexander [III 'the Great' of Macedon] took these away from the Arians and established settlements of his own, but Seleucus Nicator gave them to Sandrocottus [Chandragupta], upon terms of intermarriage and of receiving in exchange five hundred elephants. — Strabo 15.2.9
Most geographers, in fact, do not look upon India as bounded by the river Indus, but add to it the four satrapies of the Gedrose, the Arachotë, the Aria, and the Paropamisadë, the River Cophes thus forming the extreme boundary of India. According to other writers, however, all these territories, are reckoned as belonging to the country of the Aria. — Pliny, Natural History VI, 23
An Indian Puranic source, the Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purana, also described the marriage of Chandragupta with a Greek ("Yavana") princess, daughter of Seleucus (Suluva
From this, it seems that Seleucus surrendered the easternmost provinces of Arachosia, Gedrosia, Paropamisadae and perhaps also Aria. On the other hand, he was accepted by other satraps of the eastern provinces. His Iranian wife, Apama, may have helped him implement his rule in Bactria and Sogdiana. Mainstream scholarship asserts that Chandragupta received vast territory west of the Indus, including the Hindu Kush, modern-day Afghanistan, and the Balochistan, presently in Pakistan.
