The East India Company was angry with Hyder Ali and his son Tipu Sultan because they posed a significant threat to British expansion in India. Both rulers actively resisted British encroachment in southern India, engaging in military conflicts that challenged the Company's authority and control over trade routes. Additionally, Tipu Sultan's alliances with other regional powers and his efforts to modernize his military further alarmed the British, leading to a series of confrontations known as the Anglo-Mysore Wars. Their defiance and military prowess directly undermined the Company's ambitions in the region.
