This book is part of a series of books aimed at disseminating the accurate history of India drawn from the primary sources. History writing, especially about the medieval Muslim rule has been fraught with political correctness, controversy, and in several cases, downright falsification. This has occurred mostly with official state patronage. As a result, any attempts to correct this course has been virulently opposed with the result that most urban-educated Indians have now internalized a politically correct version of Indian history. The history of Tipu Sultan too, stands as a glaring instance of this distorted historical narrative. Indeed, we have seen, read, and heard about a lot of people claiming to be freedom fighters and receiving pensions from the Government. Several of these worthies would not have been born before Independence yet they succeed in such blatant manipulations. There are instances of portraying certain rulers and chieftains as true heroes who fought against the British Empire. One such ruler happens to be Tipu Sultan. Tipu Sultan is widely known as the Tiger of Mysore. Indeed, the image of Tipu battling a tiger barehanded crosses the mind whenever his name is mentioned. But is this the truth? Was Tipu Sultan truly the warrior as he has been portrayed? What exactly is his record of fighting the British? Was he really a freedom fighter as is widely claimed? Sandeep Balakrishna in this well-researched book, explores both the myths and the truth surrounding Tipu Sultan. A must-read for those who wish to learn the true story of Tipu Sultan.

Chatterjee analyzes how writing over the period of a century justified and was affected by the introduction and extension of British domination of India, demonstrating the link between written representations and the ideological, economic and political climate and debates. By showing how the representations of Britons in India, Indian religion and society and government evolved over the period 1740 to 1840, the author fills the gap between the early colonial 'exotic East' and the later 'primitive subject nation' perceptions.

Originally published in 1893, Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan talks about two distinguished rulers of southern India who vehemently fought against British colonialism and played a pivotal role in the expansion of the Mysore Empire. Written by Lewin. B. Bowring, this book is an attempt to trace the career of Haidar Ali and his equally remarkable son, Tipu Sultan. The first, distinguished by energy, enterprise, and daring which enabled him to seize a throne, and the second by his bigotry, his hostility to the English, and the meaningless obstinacy which cost him his crown and his life. It also discusses the struggle between the English and the French in southern India and the siege of Seringapatam. A major portion of this book is about Haidar Ali, his administrative, military and diplomatic tactics followed by Tipu Sultan's military inventions which he used in the struggle against the British occupying forces in south India.
