===Early history===
The recorded history of Mandi Bahauddin goes back to the era of [[Alexander the Great]]. Some 8 km northwest of the modern-day Mandi Bahauddin town, at the village [[Mong, Punjab|Mong]] on the southern bank of the [[Jhelum River]] (Greek ''Hydaspes''), the battle [[Battle of the Hydaspes River]] was fought between [[King Porus|Raja Porus]] (Sanskrit ''Paurava'') and [[Alexander the Great|Alexander]]. This historic battle of Jhelum River took place in 326 BCE.<ref>Kaushik Roy, ''India's historic battles: from Alexander the great to Kargil'', Delhi: Permanent Black, 2004, p. 11</ref> The kingdom of Raja Porus was situated in the northern [[Punjab region|Punjab]] of modern [[Pakistan]]. This was the last major fight of Alexander's career; the Macedonians, after finding a fierce resistance by Porus, and having heard of a massive 4,000 elephant force mustered by eastern kingdoms, refused to march further toward the Ganges Plains. The Sadar Gate built during the British era in 1933 is present here.<ref>Ruth Sheppard, ''Alexander the Great at War: His Army – His Battles – His Enemies'', Oxford: Osprey Publishing, 2008, p. 206</ref>
