"I am Alexander the Great, I have conquered your Hindustan."
(a) Who said this and why?
(b) What was the reaction of the person who was addressed?
(c) Do you think the person speaking had a correct understanding of conquering?
(a) Alexander the Great said this statement. He said it to assert his power and achievements to the Indian saints he encountered, hoping to impress them.
(b) The saint's reaction was calm and composed, combined with a sharp and insightful retort. He challenged Alexander's view by asking if a robber can truly be a conqueror and a giver, highlighting the paradox in Alexander’s actions. The saint emphasized that real conquest involves winning hearts with love, not by force.
(c) The person speaking, Alexander, did not have a correct understanding of conquering. His perception was based on military success and territorial acquisition. The saint pointed out the deeper aspect of conquest, which involves moral and ethical superiority and the love of the people. Alexander’s encounter with the saint led to a realization that made him reassess his approach.
