The history of India is not well known among Swedes. One many have heard of the Moguls and know that the British dominated India for a long time. Gandhi and Nehru are also well known characters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut sometimes Swedish people may wonder how the English managed to subdue India without big military campaigns and with a limited number of troops. Were there no India states that tried to defend themselves? If so, why did they not succeed?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book deals with the only Indian prince who offered staunch resistance and by doing so caused the English both fright and wrath. His name was Tipu Sultan and he ruled in Mysore in south India during a few decades at the end of the 1700s when the revolution broke out in France.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTipu Sultan was not only an outstanding military commander; he was also much ahead of his time with attempts of social reforms that would come about in other countries more than one hundred years later. But he struck his forehead bloody against the superior diplomacy and military technique of the English and finally succumbed in the struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.\tWhy this book?\u003cbr\u003e2.\tThe south Indian Scene\u003cbr\u003e3.\tIndia in the 1700’s\u003cbr\u003e4.\tWarfare in the 1700’s\u003cbr\u003e5.\tIndia and the colonial Powers\u003cbr\u003e6.\tTipu’s birth and childhood\u003cbr\u003e7.\tFather and son\u003cbr\u003e8.\tThe first anglo Mysorean war 1767-69\u003cbr\u003e9.\tWar with Marata 1769-72\u003cbr\u003e10.\tWedding in Seringapatnam \u003cbr\u003e11.\tWedding Ali-the dictator in Mysore\u003cbr\u003eThe second anglo-Mysorean war 1780-84\u003cbr\u003e12.\tTo inherit a kingdom and a war\u003cbr\u003e13.\tThe peace of Mangalore\u003cbr\u003e14.\tTipu Sultan – his own foreign minister\u003cbr\u003e15.\tTipu – the father of the people\u003cbr\u003e16.\tTipu and religion\u003cbr\u003e17.\tThe third anglo mysorean war 1790-92\u003cbr\u003eThe First Phase\u003cbr\u003eThe Second Phase\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e18.\tThe peace of Seringapatnam\u003cbr\u003e19.\tSeven years of peace\u003cbr\u003e20.\tTipu and Napoleon\u003cbr\u003e21.\t“Penfriends”\u003cbr\u003e22.\tThe fourth anglo-mysorean war 1799\u003cbr\u003e23.\tThe last battle\u003cbr\u003e24.\tThe funeral\u003cbr\u003e25.\tThe aftermaths\u003cbr\u003e26.\tConclusion\u003cbr\u003e27.\tAppendix I-II\u003cbr\u003eWellesley’s reports\u003cbr\u003eThe Malartic Proclamation\u003cbr\u003e28.\tSources and literature\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Samuel Strandberg \/ Variety \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153761202544,"sku":"27090","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/27090.jpg?v=1793913691","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/tipu-sultan-the-tiger-of-mysore","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
