Mysore Sultanate

The Mysore Sultanate was a Muslim-led kingdom in southern India, existing from the late 15th century until the late 18th century. Founded by the Wodeyar dynasty, it reached prominence under rulers like Tipu Sultan, who was known for his resistance against British colonial expansion. The sultanate was marked by advancements in administration, military technology, and agriculture. It played a significant role in regional politics, often clashing with neighboring states and European powers. The Mysore Sultanate eventually fell to the British after a series of wars, leading to the establishment of British rule in India.
