Mallian people (Ancient Greek: Μάλλοι) were a tribe from southern Punjab, with capital in today's Multan city, south of the confluence of the Jhelum (Hydaspes) and Ravi, (Hydraotes) rivers, who confronted Alexander the Great during his Mallian campaign in 326 BC.
When it prolonged, he leaped into the city before the Greek army could through ladders and even succeeded in killing the Mallian leader,[6] however, he became injured by an arrow which struck him in the lungs.
[7] Alexander received the final submission of the Malli, who had submitted after the capture of their capital city.
It is thought that they migrated to present-day Rajasthan, possibly as a result of the Indo-Greek occupation of Punjab, where they were known as Malavas.
[9] Although mallian or Malhian people were existentially no longer affined in their Present day homeland of central Punjab, but comparatively some academia thinker might have different opinion, while most of them agree on some predestined point, over Malhi or Malohi Jat's of India are living descendant of the mallian who formerly uprise against the sizeable army of Alexander the great.
