Eh!You are making no sense here. How are Haider Ali or Tipu Sultan even relevant to the battle of Panipat ? The only place they were discussed here where OP claimed that Mysore was a muslim state. Infact Haider Ali usurped the throne in the kingdom where he was commander when the wodeyer king died and made himself defacto ruler. His “empire” ended with his son Tipu sultan who was defeated by the british who put the wodeyers back into power and made it a princely state, There was a whole different thread here on the antices of Tipu Sultan a few months back, do go and peruse that if you are interested in them.

But you made it sound like that haider ali was some afghn who randomly came and took over mysore. There were no elections back then commanders did take over this way.
