The '''Mallian campaign''' was conducted by [[Alexander the Great]] from November 326 to February 325 BC, against the | |||
[[Mallian people|Mallians]] of the [[Punjab region|Punjab]].{{sfn|Ian Worthington|2014|p=219}}{{sfn|Peter Green|2013|p=418}} Alexander was defining the eastern limit of his power by marching down-river along the Hydaspes to the Acesines (now the [[Jhelum]] and [[Chenab]]), but the Malli and the Oxydraci combined to refuse passage through their territory. Alexander sought to prevent their forces meeting, and made a swift campaign against them which successfully pacified the region between the two rivers. Alexander was seriously injured during the course of the campaign, almost losing his life.{{sfn|Theodore Dodge|1890|p=605}} | |||
