Mysore was former capital of the state of Mysore (now Karnataka). It has had a long and colorful history. The most famous ruler was Tipu Sultan also known as the 'Tiger of Mysore'. He fought several valiant sometimes victorious battles against the British led by Gen. Cornwallis ( who was sent to India after having lost in America) in the late 1790s. He is credited with modern use of rockets in battles.
