TIPU SULTAN was one of India's greatest sons who fought the British and died in battle at Srirangapatna in 1799. Just two centuries after his death, very little of his physical legacy remains. His capital was sacked and his palace razed to the ground. Tipu remains a controversial figure in history, drawing extreme reactions — he is either reviled or adored. Mention his name and there are ambivalent feelings about this son of a common soldier who himself was no uncommon man.
