In 1749 it was seized by the Mahrattas, and in 1775 it was reduced by Haidar Alî of Mysore, but continued to exist as a tributary quasi-independent state till the time of Tipu (Tippoo Sultan). - [Previous: c20.52](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c20.52) - [Next: c20.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c20.54) - [Up: c20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c20.53](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c20.53) · Pramāṇa
