The British East India Company secured the surrender of Tipu Sultan's sons as hostages following his defeat in the Third Anglo-Mysore War, formalized by the Treaty of Seringapatam in 1792.
Initial Hostage Situation: Following the war, Tipu was forced to cede half his territory and pay a Rs. 3.3 crore indemnity. As surety for this payment, he surrendered two of his sons, Abdul Khalik (aged 10) and Mohin-ud-din (aged 8), to Lord Cornwallis.
Temporary Release: Tipu managed to pay the indemnity in two installments, resulting in the release and return of these two princes to Srirangapatna in 1794, earlier than the treaty's three-year stipulation.
Final Captivity and Mutiny: After Tipu’s death in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799, his remaining sons were captured and exiled to Vellore. In 1806, they were accused of instigating the Vellore Mutiny by encouraging sepoys to revolt against British dress codes and religious impositions.
Ultimate Fate: Following the suppression of the mutiny, the princes were transported to Calcutta to prevent them from becoming figureheads for further opposition, where they eventually faded into obscurity and poverty.
