#Tipu_sultan
The original name of the Indian state of Karnataka was Mysore. That Mysore, with which many legends are scattered in the pages of history. Its location in the southwest of India. And if you want to know what is his position in the pages of history? However, one would say that the strongest position taken by the ruler of South India against the first independent patriot and British East India Company in the pages of history is the memory of the empire of "Tipu Sultan" known as the Tiger of Mysore. The revered Tipu Sultan is still immortal in the hearts of the people of this state.

Birth and naming of Tipu Sultan
Tipu Sultan was born on 20 November 1850 in Kolla, near Bangalore, the capital of present day Karnataka, in the historic city of Devnahari. His father was Haider Ali, a military officer serving in the state of Mysore in southern India. Tipu Sultan was born in the womb of Fakhrunnisa Fatima, the second wife of Haider Ali. At birth his name was Sultan Fateh Ali Khan Sahib. Haider Ali and Fatima added the word Tipu to the name of their eldest son in keeping with the name of Tipu Mastan Auliyar, a famous preacher and saint of the time.
Tipu's father Haider Ali was the ruler of Mysore

At that time the ruler of the Mysore kingdom was Krishnaraja Wadia, the weak-minded king of the Wadia dynasty. Just as the Mysore Empire was under threat from the Marathas during his reign, so was the greed for British occupation and domination coming towards Mysore. Realizing this fact, the visionary Haider Ali sought permission from the Mughal emperor Shah Alam II to establish his authority over Mysore. Then in 161 Haider Ali became the real ruler of Mysore.

Tipu's childhood
Haider Ali, who himself was uneducated, was particularly active in educating his eldest son, Tipu. Tipu Sultan mastered the Hindustani language (Hindi-Urdu), Persian, Arabic, Kannada, Quran, Islamic jurisprudence, horsemanship, archery and swordsmanship.
Haider Ali had good political relations with the French, and as a child Tipu was trained in military and political matters by highly skilled French officials. At the age of 15 in 18, he stood by his father in the first Ingo-Mysore war and showed his fighting prowess and prudence.

In the following years, Haider Ali became the most powerful ruler in all of South India and Tipu Sultan played a key role in his father's successful military campaign.
Reviewing the history, it can be seen that Tipu spent all his childhood with Haider Ali in wars, expansion of empire and defense.
Tipu State Administration and Dominance
In 179, the French-controlled port of Mahe was captured by the British East India Company. The responsibility of defending the port of Mahe rested on the shoulders of Tipu Sultan, an ally of the French. Haider Ali declared war on the British in 180. In the pages of history, the war is known as the Second Ingo-Mysore War. At first, the Sultan's forces were able to inflict heavy losses on the British, but during the war, Haider Ali fell ill with cancer and went to bed. Haider Ali fell to his death on the battlefield in 182.
The sword of the legend of Tipu Sultan
On the untimely death of Haider Ali, Tipu Sultan was installed on the throne of Mysore, dated 22 December 182. As soon as he ascended the throne, Tipu Sultan made peace with the neighboring Maratha Empire and the Mughals. His treaty was a unique example of military tactics and political prudence in thwarting British aggression. The treaty forced the Fallist India Company to sign the Treaty of Mangalore in 184 with Tipu Sultan. The bloody Ingo-Mysore War ended.

Tipu Sultan set an impeccable example of good governance as a ruler. His father concentrated on all the unfinished business of Haider Ali. He built cities, ports, bridges, buildings for citizens, roads. Improves communication and financial condition. Invented modern military weapons. It is said that Tipu Sultan's father Haider Ali was the first inventor of the rocket used in the war. And Tipu Sultan further improved the technique of using that rocket. Even the late former presidential scientist Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Azad and Tipu Sultan, the forerunners of India's nuclear weapons, have been called the inventors of the modern rocket. Tipu Sultan was so vigilant in military invention, construction, warfare and fighter training that his trained forces shook the fears of the British Empire in India. It is said that when Arthur Wellesley, a British Waterloo war hero, was attacked by Tipu's forces near Srirangapatna, a rocket exploded near him and he fled the battlefield in panic. It is further learned that Tipu Sultan set up research centers at Srirangapatna, Bangalore, Bidanur and Chitradurga to study rockets.

Gradually Tipu Sultan was concentrating on the expansion of the kingdom. At that time Tipu's eye was on the empire of Travancore, an ally of the East India Company. In December 179, Tipu Sultan invaded the border of Travancore. In the ensuing battle, he faced stiff resistance from the Maharaja of Travancore. Another bloody conflict began which is recorded in the pages of history as the third battle of Ingo-Mysore.

When the Maharaja of Travancore sought help from the East India Company, Lord Cornwallis formed an alliance with the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Marathas and formed a strong alliance against Tipu Sultan. The East India Allied Forces invaded the empire of Tipu Sultan in 1890 and occupied the district of Kaimbatu. Tipu Sultan retreated but failed to retake the area. The Third Ingo-Mysore War lasted for two years. This bloody war came to an end in 1892 with the signing of the Treaty of Seringapatam. In this treaty, the British Allies and the East India Company occupied many areas including Mangalore and Malabar.
However, the Allies occupied much of Tipu Sultan's empire. But it did not break Tipu Sultan's fighting spirit or morale. The British could not overcome the terror of Tipu Sultan. In 1899, the East India Company, in alliance with the Marathas and the Nizam, invaded Mysore again. They captured Srirangapatna, the capital of Mysore. In the pages of history, this battle is well known as the fourth battle of Ingo-Mysore. Tipu Sultan was defeated and killed in the battle. 50,000 troops of the East India Company fought against Tipu Sultan's 30,000 troops. The battle was led by General Sir Richard Wellesley, Earl of Mornington. Tipu Sultan was killed on 4 May 189.

Tipu Sultan was officially recognized as a freedom fighter of India as one of the first Indian kings to be martyred on the battlefield while defending his kingdom against the colonial British.
Although he was revered as a hero of the Indian independence movement in various parts of India and Pakistan, he was also regarded as a dictator in some parts of India.
Tipu Sultan has been named one of the British Army's greatest opposition commanders of all time at the British Army's National Army Museum.
Torture
Tipu Sultan was a Muslim. Among his subjects there were more Hindus. He forcibly converted Hindus to spread Islam. He emphasized on the development of Persian and Urdu. He renamed various places in Islamic style.
In 160, Tipu Sultan proclaimed himself king of Mysore and abolished the Mughal emperor's coin and introduced it in his own name.
According to HD Sharma, Tipu Sultan sought the help of Afghan Emperor Zaman Shah to transform India into an Islamic empire and invited him to invade India.
Conversion
Tipu Sultan forcibly converted Hindus and Christians to Islam.
In 18, he wrote a letter to Sher Khan, the governor of Calicut (now Islamabad), instructing Hindus to convert to Islam. In July of that year, 200 (+/-) Brahmins were forcibly converted to Islam and beef was fed.
In a letter dated 19 January 1890 to the Governor of Bekal, Budruj Juman Khan, he announced the conquest of Malabar and the conversion of 400,000 Hindus to Islam.
The church was destroyed

Debate:
According to many historians, Tipu Sultan was not at all arbitrary or oppressive. Historians like Muhibul Hasan and Professor Sheikh Ali think that Tipu Sultan was sympathetic to Hindus and followers of other religions. In 1791, Raghunath Rao Patwardhan of Maratha destroyed the Kannada temples and killed and injured many priests. Then Tipu Sultan gave all the help for the reconstruction of the temples and took charge of the maintenance of the priests.
He also built several churches as a sign of friendship with the French.
Employment of Hindus
Several historians think that Tipu Sultan was sympathetic to the Hindus. He also appointed Hindu officers in his administration.
For example, Krishna Rao was the Accountant, Swami Iyengar was the Minister of Posts and Security, Mir Asaf was Purnaya, Sujan Roy and Mulchand were his chief representatives in the Mughal Empire and his presenter was Suba Rao.
In the end, man is no longer an angel, he is a man of guilt. The controversy over the individual Tipu Sultan is not over his patriotism. The Tongi family
