TIPU SULTAN

In the 18th Century, as the British were busy gaining their imperial foothold in India, they heard a roar of a tiger so fierce that it could not be ignored. The tiger was the fearless king of Srirangapattinam, Tipu sultan. Angered at having to lose one’s motherland to alien hands, Tipu launched a tirade against foreign rule. The imperialists had to gather all known forces of army and political strategy to subdue the echo of this roar. This beautiful painting of Tipu sultan pays homage to this brave and fierce son of the soil who gave up his life rather than his honour to strangers.
