Defeat of Alexander
Chanakya used a strategy of fear to scare the army of Alexander and force them to return. He projected a Demigod of India - Maurya, as the savior of Indians who were angry with Greeks for setting foot in India. He used many symbols like the burning of Alexander's Eagle Flag.
He made Chandragupta join Alexander's army as a soldier and used him to spread fear among them. He asked Porus to surrender to give insights about Alexander.
