Hyder Ali

Hyder Ali (c. 1720 – 7 December 1782) was a Muslim military commander of southern India, born at Budikote, who rose through the Mysore army to become the kingdom's de facto ruler in 1761. He expanded the Mysore sultanate and fought the British in the First and Second Anglo-Mysore Wars; he died at Chittoor while on campaign and was succeeded by his son Tipu Sultan.
