Answer 1

Hint: Tipu Sultan, also known as Tipu Sahab or the Tiger of Mysore, was the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, based in South India, and a pioneer of rocket artillery from 20 November 1750 to 4 May 1799. He introduced several administrative innovations during his rule, including a new coinage system and calendar and the new land revenue system that initiated the growth of the Mysore silk industry.

Complete answer:
Seringapatam, a small town near Mysore, is an island fortress ruled by Haidar Ali and then by his son Tipu Sultan until his death in 1799, surrounded by the Kaveri River. The British faced continued opposition from Haidar Ali, and numerous wars were fought for southern India's control. In 1782, Haidar Ali died, but his son continued his military campaign against the British.

The British stormed the island's fortress at Seringapatam on 4 May 1799, and Tipu Sultan was killed. According to legend, he was killed on the spot seen in this picture, but it was 182 m east of this spot, marked by a small enclosure.

At the Hoally (Diddy) Gateway, located 300 yards from the N.E., Tipu Sultan was killed by Angle at the Fort of Srirangapatna. The next afternoon, he was buried in Gumbaz, next to his father's grave. Several members of the British East India Company felt that during the war, Nawab of Carnatic Umdat Ul-Umra secretly assisted Tipu Sultan and sought his deposition after 1799.

Note: Tipu Sultan expanded the iron-cased Mysorean rockets, and the military manual Fathul Mujahidin was commissioned. During the Anglo-Mysore Wars, including the Battle of Pollilur and the Siege of Seringapatam, he deployed rockets against British forces' advances and their allies.
