🧠 Explanation:
Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore, was martyred in 1799 during the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War. On May 4, 1799, British forces, led by the East India Company, stormed Seringapatam, where Tipu died defending his capital. Renowned for his resistance against British colonialism, Tipu introduced administrative reforms, promoted economic self-reliance, and pioneered military innovations like rocket artillery. His defiance made him a symbol of anti-colonial struggle in India. Tipu’s martyrdom marked the end of Mysore’s independence, consolidating British dominance in South India, but his legacy endures as a national hero.
