    Tipu as He Really Was Gajanan Bhaskar Mehendale Tipu as He Really Was Copyright © Gajanan Bhaskar Mehendale First Edition : April, 2018 Type Setting and Layout : Mrs. Rohini R. Ambudkar III Preface Tipu is an object of reverence in Pakistan; naturally so, as he lived and died for Islam. A Street in Islamabad (Rawalpindi) is named after him. A missile developed by Pakistan bears his name. Even in India there is no lack of his admirers. Recently the Government of Karnataka decided to celebrate his birth anniversary, a decision which generated considerable opposition. While the official line was that Tipu was a freedom fighter, a liberal, tolerant and enlightened ruler, its opponents accused that he was a bigot, a mass murderer, a rapist. This book is written to show him as he really was. To state it briefly: If Tipu would have been allowed to have his way, most probably, there would have been, besides an East and a West Pakistan, a South Pakistan as well. At the least there would have been a refractory state like the Nizam's. His suppression in 1792, and ultimate destruction in 1799, had therefore a profound impact on the history of India. There is a class of historians who, for a long time, are portraying Tipu as a benevolent ruler. To counter them I can do no better than to follow Dr. R. C. Majumdar: “This … tendency”, he writes, “to make history the vehicle of certain definite political, social and economic ideas, which reign supreme in each country for the time being, is like a cloud, at present no bigger than a man's hand, but which may soon grow in volume, and overcast the sky, covering the light of the world by an impenetrable gloom.

    Bangalore (or ???????? Bengaluru, ['be?g??u??u] ( listen)) is the capital city o f the Indian state of Karnataka. Located on the Deccan Plateau in the south-east ern part of Karnataka. Bangalore is India's third most populous city and fifth-m ost populous urban agglomeration. Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of In dia because of its position as nation's leading Information technology (IT) expo rter.[7][8][9] Located at a height of over 3,000 feet (914.4 m) above sea level, Bangalore is known for its pleasant climate throughout the year.[10] The city i s amongst the top ten preferred entrepreneurial locations in the world.[11] A succession of South Indian dynasties, the Western Gangas, the Cholas, and the Hoysalas ruled the present region of Bangalore until in 1537 CE, Kempé Gowda a feu datory ruler under the Vijayanagara Empire established a mud fort considered to be the foundation of modern Bangalore. Following transitory occupation by the Ma rathas and Mughals, the city remained under the Mysore Kingdom. It later passed into the hands of Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, and was captured by the Bri tish after victory in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War (1799), who returned administr ative control of the city to the Maharaja of Mysore. The old city developed in t he dominions of the Maharaja of Mysore, and was made capital of the Princely Sta te of Mysore, which existed as a nominally sovereign entity of the British Raj. In 1809, the British shifted their cantonment to Bangalore, outside the old city , and a town grew up around it, which was governed as part of British India.

  • Tipu Sulthan: Beyond the Fabricated Stories
    TIPU SULTHAN: BEYOND THE FABRICATED STORIES Ed. HUSSAIN RANDATHANI Tipu Sultan, the eldest son of Haider Ali, was born on December 10, 1750 at Devanhalli. Right from his early years he was trained in the art of warfare and at the age of 15 he used to accompany his father Haider Ali, the ruler of Mysore, to different military campaigns. In Addition, he also learnt different languages, mathematics and science. Tipu Sultan had a fascination for learning. His personal library consisted of more than 2,000 books in different languages. 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, who died of a carbuncle in the midst of a campaign against the British. He continued fighting the British and defeated them in 1783. Being an arch enemy of the British and their allies, the British historians and those who followed them branded Tipu as fanatic inflicting cruelties up on Hindus and Christians of the conquered regions and converting them into Islam or annihilating them. It is true that he was inimical to his enemies as all the rulers and most often towards the Nairs of Travencore and the Christians of Mangalore and the British who fought against him. When he became victorious in the battles he captured them and punished them either with death or imprisonment. Many of them were banished from the country. Those prisoners who were willing to convert were freed and appointed in various posts in the army or administration.

  • RISE of MYSORE from Fifth to Twelveth Centuries, Mysore Was Ruled Over by Ancient Hindu Dynasties of Kadambas, Gangas, Chalukyas and Hoysalas
    M.A. (HISTORY) PART–II PAPER–II : GROUP C, OPTION (i) HISTORY OF INDIA (1772–1818 A.D.) LESSON NO. 1.2 AUTHOR : PROF. RAJINDER SINGH RISE OF MYSORE From fifth to twelveth centuries, Mysore was ruled over by ancient Hindu dynasties of Kadambas, Gangas, Chalukyas and Hoysalas. Then, it became a part of the great Vijayanagar Kingdom. It was during the reign of Venkata II, one of the tail-end great rulers of the kingdom that Raja Oedvar (Wodiar) 1577-1616 A... founded a separate kingdom of Mysore in 1612 A.D. by seizing the fortress of Seringapatam and making it a seat of his government. The Vijaynagar Kingdom disintegrated soon afterwards and the rulers of Mysore extended their territories. Aurangzeb during his viceroyalty of the Deccan and later during his reign tried hard to wipe out the Shia and the Maratha kingdom including the Mysore kingdom of Chikka Dev Raj (1761-64 A.D.) one of the successors of Wodiar. In pursuit of the troop of Bijapur and the Maratha soldiers of Shivaji, who had over-run the plateau of Mysore, the Mughals laid the territory waste. It was during this onslaught on the sovereignty of the Deccan kingdom what a soldier of fortune, Fateh Muhammad (Haider Ali's father) by name, distinguished himself by his power. He became a Naik and then a Faujdar, but died fighting against Saadat Ullah Khan, the Nawab of Arcot. His sons, Shahbaz (also called Ismail) and Haidar found employment in Bangalore. Haider Ali : The man who raised Mysore, then a state of little account, to a power to be recokned with, was Haider Ali.

Anglo Karnatik war between Haider Ali / Tippu Sultan and Britishes.The data collected for this article is from secondary sources. The overeall objective of this article is to study about the History of pre-independency of India. Introduction: The emergency of Mysore under the Leadership of Haidar Ali which gave formidable challenge to the British imperialism in South India is one of the interesting events in Modern Indian History. Haidar Ali was born at Budikot in the State of Mysore in 1721. His father entered into the military ser ice of the Hindu ruler of Mysore, received the rank of Faujdar and the Jagir Budikot. He died in 1728 when Haidar Ali was only seven years of age. His family suffered very much till Haidar Ali got job in the Army. At that time, the king was Krishna Rai, but the de-facto power of the State was in the hands of his minister Nani Raj. The Karnataka war helped in the rise of Haidar Ali. When Nasir Jang, Nizam of Hyderabad was murdered, a part of his treasure, per chance, fell into the hands of Haidar Ali. He increased the number of his soldiers and trained them on the model of the French army. In 1775, he was appointed the Faujdar of Dindigul.

Richard Wellesley and the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War By Ryan Campbell The British Empire in India was the final result of decades of expansion by the East India Company. The East India Company had been actively trading in the East Indies since the granting of its charter at the beginning of the seventeenth century.1 Starting with the battle of Plassey in 1757, and followed by the defeat of the Marathas in 1818, the East India Company became the dominant power in the Indian subcontinent. The supremacy of the Company lasted until the Great Mutiny in 1857, and it was during its aftermath the Company lost control. During the initial phase of this period, famous individuals such as Robert Clive and Warren Hastings led the conquest of Bengal.2 The person who is largely credited with expanding upon the initial gains of Clive and Hastings is Richard Wellesley.
