The Rise of Alexander the Great - Mutiny in India

This is John Dehle with the Imperial Army of Alexander of Sanjay, Sisra, Sisra, river in northern India. This day in the 113th of India may be settled between the Greek and Persian divisions of Alexander's forces with the supreme commander leading the Persian unit against his own Greek countrymen.

For three days, Alexander's Greeks have defied his orders to go forward into the dangerous lands of India to the east. They insist on returning to Greece. Today, Alexander has called in the assembly of the Greek units.

It is expected that he will offer his countrymen one last chance to end their mutiny. If they refuse, it believes that Alexander will order the Persians to attack at once. It must be emphasized, however the fifth is not official.

It is speculation. But that's the opinion we've been able to obtain in answer to our question. Why? We do think the... ...indian... Alexander of Macedon, seeking mastery of the world, is defied by his war-wearing Greek troops.

CBS takes you back more than two thousand years in the climax in the career of the great conqueror. All things are as they were then, except for one thing. When CBS is there, you are there.

You are there. Produced and directed by Robert Louis Chaehan is based on authentic historical fact and quotation. Today's broadcast, Mutiny in India, is the last of a trilogy on the life of Alexander the Great.

And now, India, they are now in the sense of Texas. That is the expectation here on the Assembly ground near the Hippolytus river, that the Greek troops are falling into here Alexander. There are of course only 30,000 Greeks in Alexander's imperial expeditionary forces against 100,000 persons.
