| Summary | "Tippoo Sultaun: A Tale of the Mysore War" by Meadows Taylor is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the tumultuous period during the Mysore Wars, specifically focusing on the character of Abdool Rhyman Khan and his party as they journey through treacherous terrain while dealing with various trials and tribulations. The narrative sets the stage for exploring themes of loyalty, bravery, and the clash of cultures during a pivotal time in Indian history. The opening of the novel begins with Abdool Rhyman Khan and his entourage traversing the muddy plains near the Fort of Adoni in June 1788. It vividly depicts the struggles they face against the oppressive heat and worsening road conditions. The group is composed of various characters, including the Khan's loyal retainers and bearers transporting a palankeen, hinting at the societal hierarchies and relationships in play. As they navigate their journey, the threat of an impending storm looms, portraying not just the physical challenges but also setting a dramatic tone for the unfolding story of personal and collective survival amidst the backdrop of war.
