Over two centuries have passed since his death on 4 May 1799, yet Tipu Sultan's contested legacy continues to perplex India and her contemporary politics. A fascinating and enigmatic figure in India's military past, he remains a modern historian's biggest puzzle as he simultaneously means different things to different people, depending on how one chooses to look at his life and its events. Tipu's ascent to power was accidental. His father Haidar Ali was a beneficiary of the benevolence of the Maharaja of Mysore. But in a series of fascinating events, the Machiavellian Haidar ran with the hare and hunted with the hounds; he ended up overthrowing his own benefactor and usurping the throne of Mysore from the Wodeyars in 1761.
