Ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore from 1782 to 1799
Tipu Sultan was the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in southern India from 1782 until his death in 1799, a period when European colonial powers were expanding their control across the continent. His reign matters because he resisted British colonial expansion militarily and administratively reformed his kingdom, making him a significant figure in Indian history during the early stages of colonialism.
