(This question has multiple correct options)
A) Dindigul
B) Malabar
C) Baramahal
D) None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: Seringapatam is a village in the Karnataka state of India, located in the Mandya district. It is a significant location because of its rich culture and the religious pilgrims who visit it. The Seringapatam Fort, which is Tipu Sultan's fort, is one of the most important and well-known sites in this town. Even Tipu Sultan's palace and museums are well-known tourist destinations with significant historical significance.

Complete answer:
The Treaty of Seringapatam was a result of Tipu Sultan's participation in the Third Anglo-Mysore War. On the 18th of March in the year 1792, this pact was signed. The Third Anglo-Mysore War was brought to a conclusion as a result of this settlement. The British East India Company in Calcutta and the Kingdom of Mysore in the state of Karnataka were the principal parties to this treaty. Lord Cornwallis, who came to sign the contract on behalf of the British East India Company and the Britishers, as well as a representative of the Nizam of Hyderabad, were among the key signatories. This pact was also signed by the Maratha Empire and Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore.

The Nawab of Hyderabad was a treaty signatory, but he was included because he aided English forces in exchange for territory after the war. The Nizam got the territory between the Krishna and the Penner River, as well as the forts of Cuddapah and Gandikota, as part of the deal. The Nawab, on the other hand, was not a signatory; he was merely a beneficiary.

Mysore gave up roughly half of its territory to the other signatories under the conditions of the treaty. The Nizam was given land from Krishna to the Penner River, as well as the forts of Cuddapah and Gandikota on the south bank of the Penner, and the Peshwa was given land up to the Tungabhadra River.
Between the Kingdom of Travancore and the Kali River, as well as the Baramahal and Dindigul districts, the East India Company received a substantial piece of Mysore's Malabar Coast possessions. The rajah of Coorg was granted independence by Mysore, but Coorg practically became a company dependency. Tipu Sultan was forced to surrender two of his three sons as hostages of war after failing to pay a 330 lakh rupee indemnity.

Thus, we can conclude that Dindigul, Malabar or Baramahal were the regions given to the British. Thus, the correct options are A) Dindigul, B) Malabar and C) Baramahal.

Note:
- In 1790, Tipu Sultan defeated the British army under General Meadows.
- In 1791, Lord Cornwallis took the leadership and at the head of a large army marched through Ambur and Vellore to Bangalore (captured in March 1791) and from there to Seringapatam.
