Question

imagine that you are a journalist and you are reporting in the death of tipu sultan in the battle of seringapatam

Answer 1

Today, Tipu Sultan is best remembered by the events that transpired on May 4, 1799, when he died fighting by the side of his men for Mysore. His valour and steadfastness that day is something that even his detractors, of whom there are legion, appreciate.

I will in the course of this post take you through the events of that tumultuous day and we shall constantly be by Tipu’s side till the end. For this article I will be collating several accounts of that fateful day written by several people of different backgrounds but most of whom were involved in one way or another with Tipu Sultan and the endgame of the  Fourth Mysore war.
