Description
The fall of Tipu Sultan marked a significant chapter in Indian history. Tipu Sultan, also known as the Tiger of Mysore, was the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in the late 18th century. His resistance against British colonial rule and his innovative military strategies made him a formidable opponent. However, in 1799, British forces led by General Lord Cornwallis besieged his capital, Srirangapatna, resulting in his defeat. Tipu Sultan fought bravely but was ultimately killed in the battle.
