Battle of the Hydaspes - Aftermath

The bravery, war skills and princely attitude of Porus greatly impressed Alexander, who allowed him to rule Hydaspes in Alexander's name. Wounded in his shoulder, standing at over 2.1 m (7 feet) tall, he was asked by Alexander how he wished to be treated.

"Treat me, O Alexander, like a king" Porus responded. Alexander would indeed treat him like a king, allowing him to retain his kingship.

I do not know what it is written there in urdu, but Tippu's weapon was a rocket attached to a sword. The killing is done not by the blast but the sword.

These pretty Pearl Clouds are composed of ice crystals and form when temperatures drop below minus 83 degrees Celsius. Known as polar stratospheric clouds, or nacreous clouds, they play a central role in the formation of ozone holes as they provide surfaces upon which chemical reactions that destroy ozone molecules occur.
