EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the intense moment of the Indian Cavalry Assault during the Battle of Pollilur in September 1780. The Battle of Pollilur was a significant turning point in the Anglo-Mysore Wars, as the Indian forces, led by the Sultan of Mysore, Tipu Sultan, successfully surrounded and defeated the weakened British forces without reinforcements. The image portrays the Indian cavalry in full charge against the British forces, with the smoke of gunpowder and the dust of battle rising in the background. The British forces, dressed in their red coats and white trousers, are seen attempting to form a defensive line against the onslaught of the Indian cavalry. The British artillery, which had previously provided some resistance, appears to have been silenced, leaving the infantry and cavalry to face the enemy charge alone. The Indian cavalry, dressed in colorful turbans and robes, are shown charging with determination and ferocity. The Tipu Sultan, depicted on horseback at the head of his cavalry, leads the charge with a raised sword, inspiring his soldiers to fight with courage and tenacity. The Battle of Pollilur was a decisive victory for the Indian forces, marking the end of British dominance in the region for the time being. The defeat of the British forces without reinforcements demonstrated the military prowess of the Indian forces and the strategic brilliance of Tipu Sultan. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when battles were won and lost on the field of honor, and the fate of empires hung in the balance.
