THE GREAT MUSLIM COMMANDER.....






Tipu Sultan is the eldest son of Haider Ali he was born on December 10, 1750 at Devanhalli. Right from his early years he was trained in the art of war .. and at the age of 15 he used to accompany his father Haider Ali, the ruler of Mysore,(now present in india) to different military campaigns. he also learnt different languages, mathematics and science. Tipu Sultan is very good  for learning. His personal library consisted of more than 2000 books in different language. He was an extremely active man and worked hard for the welfare of his subjects. He took over the kingdom of Mysore after the death of his father in 1782, . He continued fighting the British and defeated them after his father death.











Tipu Sultan was a far-sighted person who could see and understand East India Company's design to get enterence in India.  The British were scared of Tipu's growing strength and after their defeat in 1783 they formed an alliance with the Nizam of Hyderabad and Marhattas.
As long as the British fought alone, Tipu always defeated them. But he could not come over their diplomacy, conspiracy of his own people. Thus he was defeated in his capital, Seringapatam, and was forced to sign a humiliating treaty on  1792. As a result he had to give half of his kingdom and pay   33 million rupees to the British ..  after defeating the Nizam, once again turned their attention towards Mysore. After the treaty at Seringapatam, Tipu Sultan did not waste his time and made extensive preparations against the British. He had rebuilt his war machine in the shortest possible time . The British regarded it as a violation of the treaty. This led to the start of the fourth  war in 1798 with the help of the Nizam.  Tipu Sultan retreated to his capital and continued fighting till he breathed his last . Tipu Sultan is buried at a mausoleum that he himself had built, along with his father Haider Ali and his mother Fatima Begum.
Tipu sultan treatment of conquered subjects, non-Muslims and prisoners of war were controversial and continue to be a subject of debate today. He introduced a number of administrative and military innovations to Mysore.




















He is the ture person who fought against british and try to save his country and freedom of his people till the end of his life
