Question

Mention any 3 areas of conflict between Tipu Sultan and the East India Company.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Tipu remained an implacable enemy of the British East India Company, sparking conflict with his attack on British-allied Travancore in 1789. In the Third Anglo-Mysore War, he was forced into the Treaty of Seringapatam, losing a number of previously conquered territories, including Malabar and Mangalore.

Answer 2

Answer:

The British interfered in the internal politics of Mysore state. Tipu was not in favour of such tactics from the British government and this gave rise to the conflict. Under Tipu's rule, Mysore became a leading centre in agriculture and trade. The British wanted to acquire this prosperous Kingdom.
