Tipu Sultan died fighting with the English forces under which of the following governor general?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option 1- Lord Wellesley
Tipu Sultan died fighting the English forces under the leadership of Lord Wellesley in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War in 1799.
The other governors-general you listed, Lord Dalhousie, Lord Cornwallis, and Lord Hastings, were also important figures in British India, but they were not the governors-general under whom Tipu Sultan died.
- Lord Dalhousie was the governor-general of India from 1848 to 1856.
- Lord Cornwallis was the governor-general of India from 1786 to 1793 and again from 1798 to 1805.
- Lord Hastings was the governor-general of India from 1813 to 1823.
