Watch this interesting video about Tipu Sultan, a military officer who rose in the ranks of the army to become the ruler of the Mysore Sultanate of India in 1761.

Tipu Sultan was born at Devanahalli, 33 km north of Bangalore. He is said to have been born on 20 November 1750. His father, Hyder Ali, was a military officer in service to the Kingdom of Mysore who quickly rose in the ranks and became the de facto ruler of Mysore in 1761. His mother Fatima or Fakhr-un-nissa was the daughter of the governor of the fort of Kadapa.

Tipu Sultan was introduced to military training by French officers in the employment of his father. By the time he was 15, Tipu accompanied his father against the British in the First Mysore War in 1766. In a year, he was made commander to a cavalry he led during the British invasion of South India. By the end of the war Tipu Sultan had already made a name for himself.

In 1779, the British captured the French-controlled port of Mahe, which Tipu had placed under his protection, providing some troops for its defense which resulted in the start of the second Anglo-Mysore War. In response Tipu’s father dispatched 10,000 men and 18 guns. In this battle, Tipu decisively defeated Baillie as well as Colonel Braithwaite. He brought down armies of nearly 7000 men.
