The EIC's Forgotten Siege: Seringapatam and Tipu Sultan -...

What this episode covers

In this episode of The East India Company podcast, Lucas and Luna explore the dramatic final confrontation between the British East India Company and Tipu Sultan, the 'Tiger of Mysore'. They trace Tipu's rise to power, his innovative military technologies like iron-cased rockets, and his alliance with the French. The episode details the climactic Siege of Seringapatam in 1799, where British forces under General George Harris breached the fortress walls. Tipu's death in battle ended Mysorean resistance and cemented Company dominance in southern India. Lucas explains Tipu's legacy as both a modernizing ruler and a fierce anti-colonial figure, while Luna questions the cost of victory. A gripping tale of ambition, war, and empire. #TipuSultan #Seringapatam #Mysore #EastIndiaCompany #AngloMysoreWars #IronRockets #GeorgeHarris #LordWellesley #1799 #FortressSiege #BattleOfSeringapatam #FrenchAlliance #HyderAli #ColonialIndia #MilitaryHistory #BritishEmpire #History #FexingoHistory #RobertClive #BattleOfPlassey Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
