Sultan Fateh Ali Tipu (Urdu: فتۃ الی تیپو) November, 1750, Devanahalli – 4 May, 1799, Srirangapattana), also known as the Tiger of Mysore, was the de facto ruler of the Indian Kingdom of Mysore from 1782 (the time of his father's death) until his own demise in 1799. He was the first son of Haidar Ali by his second wife, Fatima or Fakhr-un-nissa.
Tipu Sultan, in addition to his role as ruler, was a scholar, soldier, and poet. He was a devout Muslim but the majority of his subjects were Hindus. At the request of the French, he built a church, the first in Mysore. In alliance with the French in their struggle with the British both Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali did not hesitate to use their French trained army against the Marathas, Sira, Malabar, Coorg and Bednur. He was proficient in many languages.[1] He helped his father Haidar Ali defeat the British in the Second Mysore War, and negotiated the Treaty of Mangalore with them. However, he was defeated in the Third Anglo-Mysore War and in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War by the combined forces of the British East India Company, the Nizam of Hyderabad and to a lesser extent, Travancore. Tipu Sultan died defending his capital Srirangapattana, on 4 May, 1799.
Sir Walter Scott, commenting on the abdication of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1814, wrote:
"Although I never supposed that he [=Napoleon] possessed, allowing for some difference of education, the liberality of conduct and political views which were sometimes exhibited by old Haidar Ally, yet I did think he [=Napoleon] might have shown the same resolved and dogged spirit of resolution which induced Tippoo Saib to die manfully upon the breach of his capital city with his sabre clenched in his hand."

Quote of Buddha

Hate is not overcome by hate; by love alone is hate appeased. This is an eternal law.

Though one should conquer a thousand times a thousand men in battle, he who conquers his own self, is the greatest of all conquerers.

Though one should live a hundred years without wisdom and control, yet better, indeed, is a single day’s life of one who is wise and meditative.

Oneself, indeed, is one’s saviour, for what other saviour would there be? With oneself well controlled one obtains a saviour difficult to find.

To cease from all evil, to cultivate good, to purify one’s mind: This is the advice of all Buddhas.

Victory breeds hatred. The defeated live in pain. Happily the peaceful live, giving up victory and defeat.

There is no fire like lust, no crime like hate. There is no ill like the body, no bliss higher than Peace.

Let go the past. Let go the future. Let go the present. Crossing to the farther shore of existence, with mind released from everything, do not again undergo birth and decay.

It is man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.
