He conquers Afghanistan, but fails to really subdue its people.
In a letter to his mother on 330 B.C. described the Pakhtuns/Pathans he writes;
“Am involved in the land of “Leonine” lion-like and brave people, where every foot of the ground is like a wall of steel, confronting my soldier. You have brought only one son into the world, but everyone in this land can be called an Alexander”
Constant revolts plague Alexander.
