Hyder Ali was born in Mysore in 1722. From early childhood he received thorough training in the art of warfare. He started his career as an ordinary soldier, but later by dint of hard work became Commander-in-Chief of the Mysore forces. The ruler of the State of Mysore was so pleased with Hyder Ali's conduct and performance that he entrusted him all the important affairs of the State. Hyder Ali worked day and night to set right the political and financial affairs of the State. He recognized his army on the pattern of the British and French forces.
