Tipu Sultan

 

There was a sultan in India as long as he was alive, the British could not conquer India, but when a British officer saw his body hanging outside, he said That India is now ours was the last major obstacle for the British in the subcontinent  1760 A strange activity is going on in a room in the minaret of the city of Sangapatam in South India, some  2200 km  from Delhi.A 10-year-old boy is frantically cutting window bars with a sander, and his five-year-old brother is sitting next to him, looking at him with fear in his eyes.The older boy cut the bars of the window and hung with a rope, then he put his brother on his back and climbed down with the help of the same rope.In no time, the news spread throughout the area that the two sons of the rebel general, Tipu and Karim, had escaped, and now this elder boy was hiding with his five-year-old brother.This was because Tipu's father Hyder Ali was the general of the Raja of Mysore who had been declared a rebel due to the conspiracies of the insiders and was now on the run from the city so his sons were imprisoned.But they also escaped and then met their father with the help of their sympathizers Within a year, Tipu Sza had succeeded his father Hyder Ali as the ruler of Mysore and Tipu's reign, but HyderAli's  21-year  reign was spent in conflict with his enemies.And when Tipu Sultan ascended the throne after the death of Hyder Ali in  1782,  this problem was also transferred to him. It was not easy for Tipu to rule Mysore because of the geography of Mysore.On the one hand, that is, the East India Company in the East and the South, there was the rule of the British, whose South India was centered in Madras, which is now Chennai.Along with British territory in the east, Hyderabad was the Deccan state, with the Marathas on its side, whose border with Mazdoor extended to Delhi, and the sea in the west, meaning that Tipu could not get help from anywhere.And neither could he get back Another major problem with such a dangerous geography was that Mysore was one of the wealthiest states in India. Spices and cloth were produced well. The income of the people of Mysore was 

5 times higher than that of the rest of India.The enemy on all three sides of it had the sole aim of capturing Mysore, so there was no question of a peace or treaty with them. The dangerous geography placed Mysore in a weak defensive position Yet Tipu Sultan stood ready to face any situation as Tipu was never one to give up.He also made peace agreements with his enemies, but all these agreements failed. Finally, Tipu had to fight. Tipu Sultan defeated his enemies in many battles.People called it a lion Mysore His first war was from 1784 to 1786,  

which was inherited by him, in which his father Hyder Ali died.In this battle, Tipu terrorized the enemy so brilliantly that they offered to surrender and make peace.In 1784, Tipu also signed an armistice agreement with the British, thus Tipu Sultan became the hero of India, but it was a very painful moment for the British.The British thought that in order to conquer British India, Tipu must first be remov

ed from the path and for this they started to lay a web of conspiracies. Tipu's weakness among these sashes was that Tipu did not know the art of keeping the courtiers happy.After becoming the ruler, he placed several new people in the court, which was angry with the old ministers, including Foreign Minister Amir Sadiq and Amir I.These were the people who helped Tipu Sultan handle the throne. They began to feel that Tipu Sultan was beginning to ignore him.Tipu also punished his peers because of his principle, an example of which is Tipu's highly expert when the loyal general In the battlefield, Tipu sheltered the opponent of Sultan, then Tipu did not act expediently and locked him in this prison, this general committed suicide in this prison.Due to which many courtesy of Tipu became worse and turned away from the court.The British took full advantage of this, thus the British started getting traitors from the court and bought the traitorous factory which was the newcomer East India Company.

The Governor-General named Lord Corner was very cunning and had the skill to weaken
the enemy at home instead of defeating them on the battlefield.Despite buying traitors, British generals were afraid to face Tipu alone, so he brought the Maratha  and the Nizam of Hyderabad together.After many conspiracies, the British finally succeeded in capturing Mysore after much trouble and being surrounded by enemies on all sides.Tipu Sultan wrote a letter to the Nepalis to help him, which was going to Tipu, he also sent a letter to Tipu in gambling, but the English spies grabbed it.When they were informed, they were upset when the Napolis occupied Egypt, and the British felt that they would now come from the ground squad, so they were always afraid that Napoleon would now come now.When France was defeated, the British got China, so after a lot of court intrigues, the generals of the court were also ready to support the British.When the British intended to attack the fort, the generals assured him that when the war started, they would surrender.When the war started, there was nothing but a handful of people to support Tipu. Tipu Sultan decided to fight the British and stood outside the fort with a gun and began to fight the British.Slowly, Tipu's companions also started dying and Tipu also got injured by bullets Then a soldier said, "Why don't you tell them that you are fighting so that they can respect you?"So Tipu spoke words that were immortal in history He said that a day's life of a lion is better than a year's life of a jackal" Sher Mysore continued to fight until they were injured when they fell down when they fell down a greedy Englishman The lion was still alive to remove the diamond belt tied to Tipu's waist He cut the man's leg with a sword. He turned and fired a gun.The bullets in the

head of Tipu Sultan did not know that the man fighting outside the fort was Tipu Sultan himself.Thus Tipu Sultan was martyred in 1799 By then the news had spread in the fort that Mir Sadiq removed the army from the crack, but by then it was too late.Mysore's army shot dead Mirza Sadiq and the English occupied Mysore and the body of the Sultan of Mysore was lying on the banana door.The British buried Tipu Sultan in Saranga  Patam with full honor. Tipu was 49 years old at the time of martyrdom. Therefore, it was also given a salute of 49 artillery 59 years after Tipu's death, the English flag was hoisting all over India Thus the words of this English officers proved true that Tipu Sultan's alive cannot be occupied by India.
