Tipu Sultan (1750 - 1799) Mysore, India

Sultan Fateh Ali Tippu, also known as the Tiger of Mysore (November 20, 1750, Devanahalli -- May 4, 1799, Srirangapattana), was the first son of Haidar Ali by his second wife, Fatima or Fakhr-un-nissa. He was the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore from the time of his father's death in 1782 until his own demise in 1799. Tippu Sultan was a learned man and an able soldier. He was reputed to be a good poet. He was a devout Muslim, but was also appreciative of other religions. At the request of the French, for instance, he built a church, the first in Mysore. He was proficient in the languages he spoke. He helped his father Haidar Ali defeat the British in the Second Mysore War, and negotiated the Treaty of Mangalore with them. However, he was defeated in the Third Anglo-Mysore War and in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War by the combined forces of the English East India Company, the Nizam of Hyderabad, the Mahratta Confederacy, and to a lesser extent, Travancore. Tippu Sultan died defending his capital Srirangapattana, on May 4, 1799.

Sir Walter Scott, commenting on the abdication of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814, wrote: "Although I never supposed that he [Napoleon] possessed, allowing for some difference of education, the liberality of conduct and political views which were sometimes exhibited by old Haidar Ally, yet I did think he [Napoleon] might have shown the same resolved and dogged spirit of resolution which induced Tippoo Saib to die manfully upon the breach of his capital city with his sabre clenched in his hand."

Hindutan had never seen a better King, and sadly India has has more traitors than all nations it seems, how come we be beaten by our own people otherwise? Same is happening even today, in the name of politicians, and police, nobody cares about the country, we are devided by default, we need a cause to stay united how otherwise so much issues are their with cast and religion, why are the political people fuelling it? BRITISH DID NOTHING AS COMPARED WHAT OUR OWN PEOPLE ARE DOING TODAY.

@ShyamtanuBanerjee Traitors usually are small-minded selfish people. Just recently, I am finding out more info Indian ended up a British colony. It seems to me that that could have been avoided. So sad about the way British acted that caused Sepoy incidence, the first movement of Indian's independence.

TIPU SULTAN WAS A GREAT KING

[MrChutzpah2002]

Tipu sultan was the only Indian to have defeated British two times...also Tipu is the first one to use the modern rockets for military use. After his defeat his rockets were reverse engineered and used by British. Then the brit pigs call those rockets as Congreve Rockets. This myth should be changed. Congreve did not invent military Rockets, Tipu did. Never before Tipu rockets were used. Same rockets were used by Brits against Americans, and still mentioned in Star Spangled Banner.
