dude read the intro, I gave you the link, its a Syriac translation of the works of Callisthenes, a contemporary Greek historian to Alexander
anyway the aftermath of the battle points to him losing since he
1. signed a peace treaty with Porus where Porus retains control of his kingdom
2. gives up Taxila to Porus ... the king of Taxila was an enemy of Porus and joined Alexander in order to defeat him ...
3. actually fights as a general for Porus
4. leaves India when he is destined for world conquest
5. had his forces rebel, only LOSING forces ever rebel not victorious ones
6. DOESNT finish off Porus and his forces and doesn't loot, pillage, and murder his kingdom, something that he had done to every other losing opponent ... this man was an animal and a scourge upon the world and a faggot and suddenly he's not in an extremely wealthy place like India, home to the only known diamond mines in the world
