Last Stipple Engraving of Tipu Sultan The British were so afraid of Tipu Sultan that they did not dare to go near his dead body when a bullet entered his right chest and he fell to the ground when Someone made the British believe that Tipu was killed, then a soldier tried to take out the gem embedded in his sheath, Tipu Sultan in his last moments injured his hand with his sword. Similarly, a soldier tried to kill him with a sword. So Tipu Sultan, who was on the verge of death, struck the soldier's head with his sword so forcefully that the soldier collapsed there.
When Tipu Sultan was martyred, the Governor General had said that from today, complete Hindustan is ours. The joy of Tipu Sultan's death for the British can be gauged from the fact that in the opening scene of Vicky Collins' famous novel The Moonstone, Tipu Sultan's looting and siege of Dar-ul-Sultanate Srirangapatnam is shown by hardly anyone. The ruler must have dared to fight the British in this way.
At the last time of the battle, Tipu's bodyguard Raja Khan told him that if you tell the British your identity, they will have mercy on you. He told them that the life of a lion for a day is better than the life of a jackal for a hundred years.
