Tippu Sultan. (1750-1799) ( personal life.)
“ Tippu Sahib, the Tiger of Mysore, took pains to capture children of the Europeans.
When he felt the urge, he summoned them into his private chamber.
He lashed them, hung them over burning oven, and heavily drugged them.
His Abyssinian hubsee took the child by head and leg, meshed him into pulp
and threw the remains out of the palace window. These Abyssinian negroes could
crush a man in an embrace, were no less feared than Sultan’s tigers.”
“Following circumcision of all infidel captives, Tiger made them handle
his private parts, and bring it to his lips. He set black vulgarians upon them,
who stark naked held them down and abused their bodies.”
In emulation of the Turk, Tippu Sahib tried every method of gratification.
Women had long ago sated the Tiger, and he tired of men and boys as well,
One evening he showed a trick to his prisoners, he had learned from a traveler.
He loosened his jamdanee and caught hold of a goose.
“Ye must one day try this. It is wondrously singular.
God willing, I will penetrate the goose, and upon approaching my ejaculation,
I will wrench off its neck, thereby relishing ecstatic convulsions in the anus.”
He would display his ability with cows, goats with no effort to conceal his raptures.
“His lewdness had something of justice in his bones.”
For, everything he did, he had justification in his mind.
Once he caught one of his French wives, and a black slave in each other’s embrace.
The only way he could gratify his six hundred women was to have the black’s lips, tongue, nose and genitals cut to prevent his ever being loved again.
Another story is related about a woman who complained that a starving wretch
had sucked away her milk from her breasts. Brought before the Sultan, the
Thief denied and accused the woman of telling lies.
His Highness passed down solomonic judgment.
“ The man’s stomach shall be ripped open and if no milk is found the woman
shall be executed.”
Milk was found and the thief died in the process. Woman reveled in his embrace.
Tiger of Mysore shined brilliantly as a great and just ruler and a great lecher.
It was common to call Europens gandoo, and they called us bugger.
Tippu was instructed in military tactics by French officers in the employ of his father, Hyder Ali, who was the Muslim ruler of Mysore. In 1767 Tippu commanded a corps of cavalry against the Marathas in the Carnatic region of western India, and he fought against the Marathas on several occasions between 1775 and 1779. During the second Mysore War he defeated Colonel John Brathwaite on the banks of the Coleroon River. He succeeded his father in December 1782 and in 1784 concluded peace with the British and assumed the title of Sultan of Mysore.
In 1789, however, he provoked British invasion by attacking their ally, the Raja of Travancore. He held the British at bay for more than two years. By the Treaty of Seringapatam, had to cede half his dominions. He remained restless and unwisely allowed his negotiations with Revolutionary France to become known to the British.
On this pretext the Governor-General, Lord Wellesley, launched the fourth Mysore War. Seringapatam, Tippu's capital, was stormed by British-led forces on May 4, 1799, and Tippu died leading his troops in the breach..
Tippu was an able general and administrator, and, though a Muslim, he retained the loyalty of his Hindu subjects. He proved cruel to his enemies and lacked the judgment of his father.
