EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of discovery as Sir David Baird, the British Commander-in-Chief, comes upon the body of Tipu Sahib, the Sultan of Mysore, following the Battle of Seringapatam in 1799. The historic event took place on May 4, 1799, marking the end of Tipu Sahib's reign and the British conquest of the region. Tipu Sahib, also known as Tippoo Sultan, was a formidable ruler who had successfully resisted British encroachment into his kingdom for several decades. However, his military prowess was no match for the superior British forces, led by the Duke of York and Sir David Baird. The Battle of Seringapatam, fought between December 1798 and May 1799, resulted in a decisive British victory. As the British forces advanced towards the Sultan's fortress, they encountered fierce resistance from Tipu Sahib's loyal soldiers. However, the Sultan himself was not present at the battlefield. According to popular legend, he was hiding in a secret underground chamber in the fortress, where he met his end when the chamber filled with smoke from the burning fortress. Sir David Baird, depicted in this image, was the one who discovered Tipu Sahib's body. The scene is said to have taken place in the fortress's durbar hall, where Tipu Sahib's lifeless body was found, surrounded by the trappings of power and wealth. The image captures the sense of awe and disbelief that must have gripped the British soldiers as they came upon their long-time adversary, now a defeated and lifeless figure. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Indian history, one that marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in the British colonial rule of India.
