Hyder was a true warrior and an exceptional strategist. He won all his wars against English. We should have more memorials for him than his son.

it was inevitable... The war against English was on selfish motive.... There was no patriotism @ that time.

He was a true tyrant, fanatic bigot.

thank you.

my pleasure

Hyder was master strategist... he defeated combined forces of marathas,, Nizam of Deccan and off course the Company forces.. his son tipu.. more wellknown in history than his father was no match to state craft and war strategy. Strangely his illustrious career is less known
