ok fine, he didn't lose but he did lost massive amounts of his troops. Although this is an extremely sensitive topic whether he lost or not because if your enemy can inflict massive amounts of losses on you causing you contemplate and actually forsaking the invasion and leave is like forfeiting a game. Just cause you stop playing it doesn't mean you didn't not lose.

I'm not that deep into this history but I think I will start investigating who actually came up with him losing a lot of troops but not losing in India because history is written by human and humans tend to have perceptive bias.

OK, please ignore this post I shall stay away from this thread
