MEET TIPPU

 
Not wishing to bore you with endless
history lessons but I thought it was only
right to show the image of Tippu Sultan
as I have mentioned him so many times
previously.
 
Known as the Tiger of Mysore
and Tippu Sahib,he was a poet,
scholar and soldier.
 
As rulers of the Kingdom of Mysore
he and his father Hyder Ali are
famous for their use of rockets
against the forces of the British
East India Company.
 
( 1750 - 1799 )
