==Demographics==
The [[Battle of the Hydaspes River]] took place to the west of Mandi Bahauddin in 326 BCE, between [[Alexander the Great]] and the [[King Porus|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, Punjab|Mong]], and Bucephala at the site (possibly) of [[Phalia]] in Pakistan.


{{Historical populations
In 997 CE, [[Mahmud of Ghazni|Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi]], took over the [[Ghaznavid Empire|Ghaznavid dynasty]] empire established by his father, [[Sabuktigin|Sultan Sebuktegin]], In 1005 he conquered the [[Shahi]]s in [[Kabul]] in 1005, and followed it by the conquests of [[Punjab region]].
