EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Hyder Ali (1722-1782), the Muslim ruler of Mysore in southern India, is depicted in regal attire, seated on a richly decorated cushion. Hyder Ali, also known as Haidar Ali, came to power in 1761 after a long and tumultuous period of political instability in the region. With a keen understanding of the strategic importance of military power, Hyder Ali set out to modernize and expand his army. One of his most significant achievements was the establishment of the first corps of sepoys, or Indian soldiers, with European backing. This innovative move allowed him to harness the military expertise of European mercenaries while maintaining the loyalty and cultural identity of his Indian troops. Hyder Ali's military reforms proved to be highly effective, enabling him to successfully defend his kingdom against multiple invasions by the British East India Company. In this portrait, Hyder Ali wears a traditional Indian hat adorned with precious stones and intricate embroidery, signifying his status as a powerful ruler. The European influence is evident in the military uniform and weapons that he holds, underscoring the strategic alliance between the two forces. The portrait captures the essence of Hyder Ali's reign, a time of transformation and innovation in the military and political landscape of India.
