The Lion of Mysore and the Pioneer of Rocket Warfare
Hyder Ali was not just a king; he was a phenomenon. Rising from the humble ranks of an illiterate soldier to become the de facto ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, he became one of the most formidable challenges the British East India Company ever faced on Indian soil.
