"Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan" is a historical biography written by Sir William Wilson Hunter, a British civil servant, historian, and author. The book, first published in 1881, provides an in-depth account of the lives and reigns of Haidar Ali and his son Tipu Sultan, who were prominent rulers of the Kingdom of Mysore in southern India during the 18th century. In the biography, Hunter explores the rise to power of Haidar Ali, a skilled military commander who rose from humble origins to become the de facto ruler of Mysore. He delves into Haidar Ali's military campaigns, political strategies, and efforts to modernize and strengthen his kingdom. Additionally, the biography examines the reign of Tipu Sultan, who succeeded his father as ruler of Mysore and continued his policies of military expansion and modernization. Hunter's biography offers insights into the political, social, and cultural landscape of 18th-century India, as well as the interactions between the Mysorean kingdom and the British East India Company, which ultimately led to the Anglo-Mysore Wars. "Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan" remains a significant work in the field of Indian history and has been widely studied and cited by scholars interested in the history of South India, the Mysorean kingdom, and British colonialism in India. Hunter's meticulous research and detailed analysis provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the lives and legacies of these two influential rulers.
