Purushothama - The King Who Defied the Great In 326 BCE, two legends collided on the banks of the Hydaspes: Alexander, the world's greatest conqueror, and Porus, the proud king of Aryavarta. While history remembers the war through Greek eyes-with tales of Alexander's triumph-this epic novel reimagines the battle from the perspective of those who would not kneel. Purushothama - The King Who Defied the Great brings to life a world of elephants and phalanxes, betrayal and loyalty, and a king whose valor echoes through myth and memory. Facing both cunning invaders and traitors within, Porus must unite his fractious land, guided by the wisdom of Rajaguru and the fierce courage of his generals and people. As war rages, the lines between enemy and kindred spirit blur-especially when Porus and Alexander confront each other not just as rivals, but as equals shaped by fate. Richly detailed and driven by character, this gripping historical epic explores what it means to fight for land and honor, and the true cost of resistance. Through dramatic battles, poignant sacrifice, and moments of unexpected mercy, Purushothama asks: what remains when the dust settles-conquest or legacy? Perfect for lovers of historical fiction, Indian epics, and tales of kings who dare to defy destiny.
