alexander the great
alexander the great and his army crossed the jhelum in bc 326 at the battle of the hydaspes river where he defeated the indian king, porus. according to arrian ("anabasis", 29), he built a city "on the spot whence he started to cross the river hydaspes", which he named "bukephala" (or "bucephala") to honour his famous horse bukephalus or bucephalus which was buried in jalalpur sharif. it is thought that ancient bukephala was near the site of modern jhelum city. according to a historian of gujrat district, mansoor behzad butt, bukephalus was buried in jalalpur sharif, but the people of mandi bahauddin, a district close to jehlum, believed that their tehsil phalia was named after alexander's dead horse, saying that the name "phalia" was a distortion of "bucephala". the waters of the jhelum are allocated to pakistan under the terms of the indus waters treaty. india is working on a hydropower project on a tributary of jhelum river to establish first-use rights on the river water over pakistan as per the indus waters treaty.
