Tipu sultan 

Tipu sultan born in dewahalli of karnataka on 20 November 1750 and his full name was sultan fateh ali khan shahaab.His father was a soldier of the Mysore empire, but with his strength he ruled Mysore in 1761.Tipu sultan has seen him as a powerful ruler and warrior, bulk voi I have been a scholar.His father, haider ali, was impressed by his bravery and won him the title of sher - I - Mysore.Tipu sultan was killed on 4th May 1799 while defending srirangapatnam.These rockets of tipu sultan were taken by the British in the late 18th century.These rockets of tipu sultan were taken by the British in the late 18th century. And these rockets are housed in the London 's famous science museum.Tipu won the first war against the British at the age of 18.

After tipu had lost many battles and the nizam had joined the British. In such a situation tipu also offered a treaty with the British. Even the British had become aware of the power of tipu and wanted a pact with their secret mind. The negotiations took place in March 1784 and this led to the conclusion that the treaty of mangalore was over.

Third Mysore war 

Even the treaty of mangalore did not end with the British as well as the Mysore war. It 's called 1786. In 1833 Lord Cornwallis became governor - general of India. 1833 He was not good in the internal affairs of the Indian states, but having regard to the situation of the day he had to intervene because tipu sultan was his main enemy at that time, the British joined the nizam to strengthen their position, but tippu too extended his hand to make friends with the French so as to establish his domination in the south. Cornwallis knew that his war with tippu was inevitable and he wanted to make friends with great powers. He put up a united front with the nizam and the marathas and then announced the war against tippu, thus the third Mysore war continued for two years and the British were unsuccessful in the beginning, but eventually they won. The year 1792 AD The war with the treaty of sri rangatpatya in 1947 came to an end with tippu bringing down half of his kingdom and three million pounds of the united front, the largest part of it was found by the nizam in the middle of the river Krishna ta pant. 1947

Fourth English Mysore war

Tipu sultan was much grieved at the humiliating conclusion of the rangapatna and wanted to vanquish the British by his ignominy; nature also gave him such an opportunity but fate did not support tippu. While the war was raging in England and France, tippu sent his court to different countries to take advantage of this international difficult situation.

He appointed French officers in his military organisation by providing a variety of facilities to the French people and a few French officers in April 1798. He helped tipu against the British in 1947.

 First the conflict between the British and tipu became necessary. It was at this time that Lord welley was appointed governor - general of Bengal. He decided to crush the power of tippu by trying to combine the nizam with the nizam and the marathas against tippu, but the marathas did not give a clear reply by welle 's co - operation with the nizam in 1798, and in doing so, the marathas would have given some portion to the marathas.

 With the putara preparations, welley invaded Mysore and thus began the fourth battle of Mysore.

 And tipu sultan died in the end in fighting battle with valour.

 The Muslim power which had grown in Mysore thus ended not only in the thirty - three years earlier but the play of the English Mysore war itself. For 33 years, the British who had been the enemy of progress was now in British power. The British and the nizam got together and distributed the mess. The marathas were also given some territories in the north - west, but they refused to accept that the remaining one of the minor boys of the old Hindu dynasty with the treaty, which, according to him, agreed to pay the expenses of the British army being deployed at the hands of the British government. This policy had brought considerable advantage to the British in Mysore raj

The religious policy of tipu sulta

In the 19th century, an official and writer of the British government William Logan in his Malabar manual has written how tipu sultan, along with his band of 30, 000 soldiers, caused a devastation in calicut. Tipu sultan was riding on an elephant and behind him was his large army. Men and women were hanged. His children were hanged by him. Dismissing all history would make it clear that tipu was an islamic religious ruler at his sword: "come to my aid to wipe out the infidels," master, 80 thousand people of coorg were either killed or forced into muslims.

Gift for Hindu entities

Some of the maratha riders of raghunatha rao patwardhan raided the temples and monasteries of srangeri shankaracharya in 1791. He robbed of all the precious possessions of the monastery. Many people were killed and many injured in this attack. Shankaracharya submitted a petition to tipu sultan for help. In a letter written to shankaracharya tipu sultan expressed anger and sorrow. After this tippu ordered the asafa of bedanur to give 200 relief to shankaracharya for cash money and other gifts. Tipu sultan 's interest in the sringerary temple continued for many years, and even in the year 1790 he wrote a letter to shankaracharya. Tippu 's letter was written after the third Mysore war when tippu had to face many shocks, including the hostages, delivering his two sons. It is possible that tippu had written these letters to win the support of his Hindu subjects.

 

Tipu Sultan: The Tiger of Mysore

Tipu's experience with the outsiders uncovers that he was not against their essence in his space; he really needed them to conform to his orders, anyway eccentric or insolent. He was able to take the assistance of unfamiliar forces to oust the one he despised. Accordingly, he had little hesitations charming the Turks, Afghans, and the French into alliance.Tipu truth be told asked the Afghan strongman Zaman Shah Abdali  to attack North India and is accounted for to have sincerely trusted to Lieutenant-Colonel Russel, leader of the French separation in the Mysore armed force: "I need to oust them [the British] from India. I need to be the companion of the French for my entire life" . He even composed the public authority of Isle de France (Mauritius) proposing an insoluble "settlement of collusion and brotherhood" making a family connection between the two states 

Tipu's actions and strategies have been differently deciphered, frequently with strong speculations by history specialists in India and abroad as varied and present day (Habib, 1999). One researcher guaranteed that he "was so creative and dynamic that, had not fate stopped his life, he would have guided Mysore into a modern age" Another estimated that had Tipu been the leader of Bengal rather than Siraj-ud-daula, the "historical backdrop of the eighteenth century India would have been really unique" 

All things considered, every one of his actions including renaming his administration as some sort of a heavenly gift (khudadad sarkar) or redesigning his military into ilahi or ahmadi comprising of slaves or chelas  were both military and Islamic in tone (Rao, 1948). Burton Stein's portrayal of the Sultan's regulatory monetary association uncovers the development of an extractive government (Stein, 1989). The Governor of Madras Thomas Munro (1761-1827) considered Tipu's Mysore as "the most straightforward and tyrannical government on the planet" Tipu fundamentally had a place with that class of rulers who could be delegated primitive totalitarian. As far as he might be concerned, noticeable proof of individual devotion and security of his local authority were amazingly significant. 

We have reports of Tipu's wanton mercilessness. Majon Alexander Allan (1764-1820) gives an account of Tipu's killing the European hostages on April 28, 1799, the very day he was haggling with Lieutenant-General Harris for harmony terms. "Of the genuine person of this Prince." Allan composes,

we hitherto have been ignorant! But now it will be placed in its true light. That he was suspicious, vindictive, cruel and hurried away by the sadder impulse of passion, to which he was subjected even without any apparent provocation, is certain and probably it will be found that he was more deficient in military talents, and others as essential to govern an extensive kingdom than has been generally imagined. (cited in Rao, 1948, Vol. 3, p.1025)

Lieutenant-Colonel William Kirkpatrick (1756-1813) composes that once the Sultan requested his brother by marriage Burhanuddin Khan to mount an attack on an area including "each living animal in it, regardless of whether man or lady, old or youthful, kid, canine, feline, or any living thing, else, should be put to the blade' (Kirkpatrick, 1811, Letter # 85 dated July 10, 1785, italics in unique). Kirkpatrick (1811) composes further, "Colonel Munro [Sir Hector, 1726-1805] guarantees me, that it's obviously true that on one event he [Tipu] requested all the male populace of a specific town which had given him offense, to be emasculated" 

If his ministers dared to combat his opinion he stared at them in a threatening manner and replied to them in words of disdain and insult. Thus his true friends seeing that their frankness only created resentment in the sovereign, which became fatal to them, began to accommodate their opinion to the caprices of their master and the unhappy Tippoo was surrounded only by his courtiers who praised all his plans and applauded all his fantasies. Discussing Tipu, Major James Rennell (1742-1830) noticed perspicaciously as carly as 1792 

He is umquestionably the most powerfiul of all the local princen of Hindoostan; however the absolute abhorrence in shich he is held by his own subjects, renders it far-fetched that his rule will be for quite some time (refered to in Rao, 1948, Vol 3,p. 1230) Major Allan, who knew the Sultan at firsthand, observed.It isimpossible that Tippoo might have been leved by his poplec he Musselnen Musalmans] unquestionably lookod dependent upon him as the top of their confidence: by them, maybe, his passing is regetted bu they couldn't have been connected to him, by warmth.
