Short brief history of Mandi Bahuddin district of Punjab province of Pakistan
Mandi Bahauddin is a district of the Punjab province of Pakistan.
The Battle of the Hydaspes River took place to the west of Mandi Bahauddin in 326 BCE, between Alexander the Great and the Raja Porus of India in 326 BCE. Raja Porus was situated nearby, in a portion of
ancient India which is now part of Pakistan. The battle was the last
major war fought by Alexander. Harry Roy, the son of Raja Porus, and Bucephalus,
Alexander the Great's horse, both died on the first day of this battle.
After the death of his son, Raja Porus, who had been stationed at
Nazampur, came with elephants and fought Alexander the Great himself. As
a result of this battle, Alexander founded two cities, Nicaea
("Victory") at the site of modern-day Mong, and Bucephala at the site (possibly) of Phalia in Pakistan.
In 997 CE, Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi, took over the Ghaznavid dynasty empire established by his father, Sultan Sebuktegin, In 1005 he conquered the Shahis in Kabul in 1005, and followed it by the conquests of Punjab Region. The Delhi Sultanate and later Mughal Empire ruled the region.
After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the minority Hindus and Sikhs migrated to India while the Muslim refugees from India settled in the Mandi Bahauddin District.
