	Pauravas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pauravas was the name given to the many petty kingdoms and tribes of ancient NW India in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE.
		The Pauravas were all situated on or near the Indus river where their monarchs grew rich and prosperous through trade.
		The most powerful tribes, those of Ambi and Porus were cowed by the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great in 326BCE, but he did not go on to conquer the entire area because his army simply refused to go any further.

		Later the Anavas are said to have invaded Panjab from their habitat in Kashmir, and to have been defeated and expelled by the Pauravas in the so-called Battle of the Ten Kings, described in Rg Veda 7:18,19,33,83.
