Description

About The Book: This book recounts the historical narrative of Hyder Shah, also recognized as Hyder Ali Khan Bahadur, and his son Tippoo Sultaun. It commences by elucidating the aftermath of Nadir Shah's incursion led by Thamas Kouli Khan, where hereditary arrangements were established for the Grand Vizier and nine viceroyalties, strategically diminishing the strength of the Mogol empire. Nizam El Moulouc's influential role in inviting Nadir Shah becomes a focal point. The expansive Subaship of Decan, encompassing Marattas, Canara, and Mysore, each with distinct laws, serves as a crucial backdrop. The English's backing of Mohumed Ali Khan in Arcot, coupled with harsh actions against Chanda Saeb, unfolds as a precursor to Hyder Ali's pledged retaliation in Tanjore. This summary lays the foundation for the unfolding events in the history of Hyder Ali Khan.
