Mysorean Sultanate

The Mysorean Sultanate was a significant kingdom in southern India, existing primarily during the late 17th and 18th centuries. It was established by the Sultans of the region, who belonged to the Muslim dynasty of the Wadiyar rulers, primarily based in Mysore. The Sultanate is known for its cultural developments, military power, and resistance against British colonial expansion. Key figures include Sultan Tipu Sultan, a prominent leader who fought against the British during the Anglo-Mysore Wars. The Sultanate eventually fell to British control in the late 18th century, marking a critical period in India's history.
