Brantap built a monument to the horse in the same place where he fell in battle, and is located in Rajasthan. The name Chitak horse has been traded in many folk tales and tales of local people in India.
Nice article, though Alexander the Great's horse was named Bucephalus(meaning Ox Head) and the battle was called the Battle of the Hydaspes, not the battle of the warhead.
