	Second Anglo-Mysore War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the time, Mysore was a key French ally in India, and the Franco-British conflict raging on account of the American Revolutionary War helped spark Anglo-Mysorean hostilities in India.
		Stung by a British breach of faith during an earlier war against the Marathas, Haidar committed himself wholeheartedly to the French alliance and to revenge against the British.
		The war was ended in 1784 with the Treaty of Mangalore, at which both sides agreed to restore the others' lands to the status quo ante bellum.

		Entering at the west door, the first object that rivetted the attention was a beautiful semicircular temple, of the Ionic order, dedicated to Victory, placed at the east end, whose dome reached within a foot of the ceiling.
		At first sight, it might have seemed that the analogy would have appeared paradoxical or strained to its intended audiences...; the Maccabean story of a successful rebellion in which the rebels were in the right was apparently being used to celebrate the suppression of a rebellion in which the rebels were in the wrong.
		This is because, in the chain of allegories, forced Indianization in Mysore is being used to figure the openness of both Whig and more radical British constituencies to French constitutional reform, and thus the voluntary desire for reform among Britions is being recast as French desire for the absorption of British society.

		Hostilities in southern India between the British and the forces of the local Muslim ruler Hyder Ali (c.1722-1782), and later, his son Tipu Sultan (1753-1799), led to an ongoing series of regional wars known as the First Mysore War (1767-1774), Second Mysore War (1778-1784), Third Mysore War (1790-1792), and the Fourth Mysore War (1799-1800).
		However, despite the fact that this was a military defeat for the British forces, the stubborn resistance that the 250 soldiers of the 2/42nd and 1500 Indian sepoys allowed them to negotiate a settlement guaranteeing safe passage to rejoin British forces elsewhere on the Malabar coast.
		Peace was negotiated with Tipu Sultan on the 11 March 1784, ending the Second Mysore War (1778-1784), and the 2/42nd Regiment was transferred to Calcutta for active service in the Upper Provinces of Bengal.

		The first blow dealt to the French monarchy proceeded from the nobility, not from the peasants.
		The English soldiery then committed abominations for the mere fun of it; their passions being neither sanctified by religious fanaticism nor exacerbated by hatred against an overbearing and conquering race, nor provoked by the stern resistance of a heroic enemy.
		And then it should not be forgotten that, while the cruelties of the English are related as acts of martial vigor, told simply, rapidly, without dwelling on disgusting details, the outrages of the natives, shocking as they are, are still deliberately exaggerated.
