   And others write his name as Porus, which by all probability is the   
   Persian name "Piruz" (meaning The Winner).   
      
   Don't forget that the part of India you are talking about was Iran, not   
   India. Being inside today's India doesn't mean it was India back then.   
      
   So the guy was Iranian. He was an Iranian "Satrap" (Governer). So get   
   your "India" stuff out of all this. Better yet contract kala-azar and   
   just die :) I want my space in my fridge.
