Born in 1751, تیپو سلطان was the son of Hyder Ali, who was also a prominent ruler of Mysore. He played a significant role in the Anglo-Mysore Wars, fighting against the British East India Company. Despite his efforts, he was ultimately defeated and killed in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799, leading to the annexation of Mysore by the British.
