HAIDER ALI

At a time when the British were expanding their conquests in Bengal and North India, two such warriors were born in South India whose names will live forever in history, these were Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan. In Bengal and North India, the British did not face any tough competition from the Muslims. No one could stand before their organized forces and modern weapons, but this was not the case in South India. Here, Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan fought the aggressive actions of the British step by step, they showed unparalleled political ability and tact and defeated the British many times in the field. The kingdom they established is remembered in history as the “Sultanate of God-given Mysore”. This book, written by the renowned historian Professor N.K. Sinha, is very important among all the books written on the life of Hyder Ali so far that even Western critics consider it balanced. It contains all the details of the birth of this great ruler and commander of the subcontinent to his martyrdom. While there is a detailed mention of the wars fought under his command, several chapters have also been written on his style of governance. Decorated with rare historical photographs, this book is a must-read for everyone.
